Artist description "Caxambas" is a place where ancient Calusa Indians and early spanish explorers sought "fresh water" on Marco Island, Florida. JRobert's "Caxambas" is a fresh tapestry of violin, samba style guitar, and Trinidadian Steel Pan are interwoven throughout this music journey. "Blue Water Cruise is like water…it sweeps you out from where the rivers meet the sea and beyond all markers, buoys, and music genres into a deeper soundscape adventure."
