About the Album

Without formal voice lessons or a musical education, Raquel Fé has written, recorded and produced a Christian solo album, titled, "We Live By Faith". You haven't heard Christian music like this...An eclectic mix of Pop, Rock, R&B, and Dance, the lyrics were written based on Raquel's personal life experiences in her walk with God. Every person of faith must walk their own path. As mistakes are still made while in pursuit of righteousness, we forgive others for their mistakes too. That's the concept of this album... to uplift during times of joy and weakness, using biblical scripture and lessons learned through experiences.

About Raquel Fé

Raquel Fé began recording in her early teenage years with her older brother- a classical pianist and also Executive Producer of the international documentary film "La Epoca" www.laepocafilm.com. With just a $200.00 stereo, a tape recorder and a cheap microphone, Raquel Fé recorded several choruses over the instrumentals of popular songs while her brother rapped. When in high school, another older brother of hers, song-writer and producer, 7b, heard a song she was preparing for a talent show. He was so captivated by her voice, that he invited her to record and eventually co-write an album using highly advanced music-writing software for computers. As a music band, they called themselves OR and titled their album "Along for the Ride."

What’s Happening Now

Today, Raquel Fé is a full-time singer/song-writer performing across the country. She collaborates with other independent artists and continues to write for future albums.

Accomplishments

Raquel Fé is no novice to performing. She sang in several school talent shows, weddings and, sadly, funerals. She sang many solo performances in all of her school chorus productions and was selected by her high school band director to sing at the final band performance of the year (which merited a standing ovation). She was given the distinct honor of singing the national anthem a cappella at High School athletic events. She was, also, invited to perform for the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Army at the Pentagon in Washington D.C., which, she accomplished, flawlessly, and for which she received a letter of gratitude. When it comes to performing, she puts on an amazing show. Raquel shares: "When I sing, I can't help but become very emotional. It is the only way I know how to express myself". Her emotions definitely show, as many of her performances have brought people to tears. At age 16, Raquel wrote a song about the arrival of Y2K. This track was used, exclusively, by Western Union Corporate around the globe as they prepared for the potential threats of the end of the millenium.

All in the Family

Music definitely runs in this girl's family. Raquel (born Raquel-Maria Joseph) is the daughter of a well-known bassist, Alfonso El Panameno (www.orquestaalfonso.com) , who performed with the pioneers of Afro-Cuban music. Alfonso has been songwriting for well over 40 years. He made several recordings on Latin oldie tracks and performed with some of today's most popular Latin musicians such as Celia Cruz, Candido, Machito, and Tito Puente. Alfonso was soon forgotten, after he moved to Connecticut to raise his seven children. He was replaced by the well-known bass player, known as, Cachao. After almost 40 years, Alfonso is making a come back with his new album, titled "Divine Intervention." The album contains 9 tracks of Christian, orchestral and Latin music, with the voices of 3 of his children, Othoniel, Josue, and Raquel Fé. You can view the website at www.orquestaalfonso.com.
