TULUM, MEXICO. – Leonardo Prakash‘s single, “Bring Up Water” is like the first drops of rain on a spring afternoon, a nylon string guitar sets the scene of a lush musical landscape. “Bring Up Water” is an acoustic folk song written to inspire happiness and hope. With a sound reminiscent of the greatest folk records of the 60s and 70s, Leonardo Prakash’s lyrics are at home in a garden of guitars, simple drum kit, and voices. It is a timeless song with a timeless message and leaves you feeling refreshed and alive much like the flowers after the rain clouds lift.
