ALEX ALVEAR'S ARTISTFUNDING PROJECT
Hello, I am Alex Alvear and I am asking for your support to help me record a new and very long-overdue album with my band Mango Blue. By support I don’t mean a charitable donation but rather an advance, an investment that will give you something back at every level of contribution. I have worked extremely hard to make this recording as cost-effective as possible without compromising the high quality of the end product. However, because of the size of the band and the production needs, this project requires a significant expense that I am not able to foot on my own. I am seeking $10,000 in Artistfunding to finance my new album. This music must be recorded, not only because it represents a body of work from the past 6 years but also because our fans have been requesting a new CD for a long time. I can’t tell you how many times I have been asked: “When is the new album coming out?” or “What’s next?” Therefore, I need you to help make this project a reality.
Music is made to be shared. We adore performing live because there’s nothing like that amazing short brush with eternity one feels when making music for people in front of you. Music has the power of bringing people together. Sometimes folks who otherwise would not interact with each other come together even for a moment, under the same roof, sharing a piece of their lives. Nonetheless, the recording of an album is a very important part of the culmination of a body of work. It allows the music to travel to places and connect to people the band could not reach in the live performance setting alone. It also provides possibilities for developing new audiences, more gigs and a broader network. But most importantly, it leaves a legacy of what has grown out of years of hard work, joy, sacrifice, many challenges and tons of fun.
Perhaps the best thing about this particular independent recording project is that there is no middle person, no broker, no record label and NO COMPROMISE! Instead, it’s a simple and direct transaction between the artists and the people who love their work.

About
HOW DOES MICROFUNDO WORK?
Choose a Musician's Campaign, Lend, Get Repaid
1. Music Fans like you can browse Campaigns of Musicians and choose an artist to lend to. When you lend, using Paypal or your credit card, Microfundo collects the funds and then passes them along to the artist once they've reached their goal.
2. Over time the artist is able to repay the loan via sales of digital downloads of their music that is distributed through Microfundo's media partners at Natonal Geographic and Mondomix.
3. When you get your money back you can re-lend to another artist Campaign or choose to purchase their artists' new releases or you can simply keep your money.
You, the fan, provide microfunding for musicians from one of the unlikely music capitals of the world - the townships of Capetown, South Africa, say, or the favelas in Salvador, Brazil. You are directly engaged in their creative process - making new and completely unique recordings that wouldn't exist without your assistance.
Change the lives of our Artists and help develop a thriving music economy around the globe.
