Overview
When I popped the dvd of the rare footage, a once noisy house became silent. With every string my godfather plucked I cried, and cried. I was 11 years old when I last saw him alive over 2 decades ago. Uncle Daniel spoke to me through every string he played. Through my tears I felt called to do something with this lost now found work. Daniel Coulanges died at the young age of 28 years old of HIV/AIDs in 1989. Join me in what I know I've been called to do, bringing my late uncle's music to life.

Part 2 has Ended go to part 4 or for the Vinyl lover in you

 

GONE TOO SOON - recently featured in the Miami New Times and the Miami Herald  

I first want to thank those who have pledge to part one and part 2 of this heartfelt project. It came short of the goal, whoever I haven't given up yet. They often say the 3rd time's the charm. The World's Finest project  able to raise  381.54 (including Indiegogo's fees) in Part 1 on this heartwarming project but we have a ways to go. 

Imagine Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, or Amy Winehouse, who all died at a very young age, had some rare unheard creative works that was never shared with the world, what would you do to get that music to the world? My late uncle and godfather Daniel Coulanges died at the young age of 28 years old. Daniel never had an opportunity to share his talent. With rare footage performing I was able to extract the audio. With your pledges I am confident we will get the music mastered and produce the album.

Have you ever wanted to share your talents with the world? What if you never had a chance to? My late uncle and godfather Daniel Coulanges described as, "The world's finest guitarist" died at the young age of 28 years old on April 30th, 1989 of HIV/AIDS. At that time it was a death sentence. Today with early testing and medicine many are living and thriving with HIV/AIDS.  In Miami, One in 99 Miami-Dade residents is living with HIV or AIDS (one in 67 male and one in 178 female) source careresource.org. Your generous pledge will help awareness of the importance of one knowing their HIV status negative or positive.  

Daniel never had an opportunity to share his talents with the world. Thanks to my other uncle Amos Coulanges, he was able to get rare footage of his late baby brother Daniel performing. This video is a Daniel's cover of "Killing Me Softly." With that rare footage I was able to extract the audio. However, I need your help from there. With your pledges I am confident we will able to fully commit and complete this project. This remarkable project includes: 

Digital copy of World's Finest (Live Performance in New York) album 

Physical copy of World's Finest (Live Performance in New York) album 

World's Finest guitar pick

A World's Finest t-shirt of your own

WITH YOUR HELP

By backing this project, it will give us the necessary funding to do four things:

1. For professional mastering. We are aiming high and will have this album mastered professionally for your listening pleasure 

2. For production. Once the album is complete, the funding you provide will allow us to bring the album into production and distribution. We have always made sure our albums are packaged beautifully & we want to maintain that standard. We will be fulfilling the orders of the t-shirts, posters and cd's

3. Wonderful graphic design. Because we are working with aged images we want those images to be restored and the graphics and text to be professional done as possible and your funding will help us get there.

4. Editing the concert video. Editing the aged footage will take some time and with your pledges the editing will be done and distributed to you to enjoy watching over and over again

With your pledges I am confident we will support this project fully funded

ONE LAST THING

I encourage everyone reading this to pursue your passion intentionally with purpose because if you don't no one else will. No one is promised tomorrow so why not pursue your passion with the natural gifts that you've been given right NOW.

To paraphrase a conversation I recently had with someone. We are killing ourselves softly with each moment that passes when we don't at least attempt to express and share our talents with each other. But letting your light shine you unknowingly inspire others to shine their lights as well. It is never to late until it is.

Risks and challenges

The risk and challenges that come with completing this project is not getting the funds to produce the album in a professional manner. With your pledges I am confident we will support this project fully funded
