Rafael Luna: A multi-talented musician, educator, and mentor paving the way for the advancement of society through music

Prodigy Press Wire

The album cover for "Raf Standards" by Rafael Luna AKA “Raf” credit for cover art: Kate Renshaw-Lewis - Graphic Design Many believe that music is a universal language. After all, it has influenced cultures and societies, just as how cultures and societies have influenced it. Rafael Luna also known as “Raf”, a global creative director from California, aspires to emphasize this connection and help the next generations realize its importance. Despite being born into a musically inclined family, Rafael’s passion for music does not only stem from it. Music naturally became a way of life for him. Because of his interest in culture and society, Rafael composed and produced jazz and contemporary music heavily inspired by them. “My music gravitates toward the art of meditation… exploring the conscious, unconscious, and the likes,” says Rafael. The multi-talented musician wanted to deepen his connection with music. Therefore, he made it both a hobby and a profession. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in Music Performance and Technology and a master's degree in Pedagogy, Audio Visual Arts, and Musical Improvisation at the California Institute of the Arts, Rafael pursued being an educator. He kickstarted his teaching career in 2005 and worked as a flute instructor, music educator, and creative arts teacher. In 2017, Rafael established " The Raf Collective." This platform is meant to be used for academic research on the advancement of society through musical storytelling. Two years after Rafael founded The Raf Collective, he actively began to seek more ways to elevate his teaching methodologies and academic approach. During the pandemic, he realized that pursuing music as a hobby and a professional endeavor presents two different lenses. He notes that these two distinct lenses can be utilized together to develop a more in-depth approach to teaching music. “I believe that music can’t be separated from the broader environment. How I see myself, my personal experiences, the cultures and societies I’m passionate about; I want them to resonate through my music. I just want my music to reach the hearts of as many people as possible,” says the spirited musician and educator. Rafael conducts workshops and tours and collaborates with different schools to fulfill his mission. He recently discovered his passion for sharing his knowledge and experiences with other people. Remembering the teachings of his beloved mentor Charlie Haden, Rafael decided to become a mentor. He has a new goal of connecting with the younger generation of musicians and promoting music education. Rafael is now looking for collaborations and partnerships with educational institutions that will provide him with avenues to encourage aspiring musicians to persevere, learn, and grow. Furthermore, in line with his life mission to incorporate his background as a researcher of societies and cultures in his music, Rafael is working on implementing a "new educational system" with a foundation centered on interdisciplinarity and holistic approaches. “As a multiracial person, my goal is to pave the way for others. I have paved my own path, and I want everyone to pave theirs,” the global creative director stressed. Media Contact Name: Rafael Luna Email: raf.globalcreativedirector@gmail.com Release ID: 778446

Angkor Resources Defines Drill Targets on Wild Boar Prospect

Angkor Resources Corp.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA – TheNewswire - (October 18, 2023) Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV:ANK ) and ( OTC:ANKOF) (“Angkor” or the “Company”) a nnounces drill targets defined on the Wild Boar gold prospect. A drilling program is planned to start in early December after rains sufficiently subside. Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration summarizes, “Very solid assay results indicate a large anomoly across an area roughly 2 kilometres long by 1.5 kilometres wide. Grab samples from the geophysical anomaly shown on the map below clearly defines a north-south target for a drill program in the coming months.” Ouellette continues, “The low sulphidation model of epithermal veins have an increase in sulphide content with depth and growing proximity to the ‘boiling, breccia area’ which usually hosts high grade ‘bonanza’ styles of gold mineralization. The Wild Boar target area shows an increase in chargeability below 185 meters. Drilling through the thin resistive zones at depth should prove the deposit model.” The Wild Boar is an epithermal gold target of the low sulphidation variety. An induced polarization survey was completed over the main target area. The survey revealed two thin, north to south trending zones of moderate resistivity with zones of low to moderate chargeability on their east and west flanks. The chargeability anomaly increases in intensity with depth. This profile is consistent with epithermal veins or vein swarms within a silica altered zone with possible pyrite altered areas on the flanks. A deep trenching program followed in the concentrated map areas between lines 6 and lines 9 to provide more data and analysis.

Felix Gold focused on defining near-surface commercial resource at Treasure Creek

Felix Gold Ltd

Felix Gold Ltd (ASX:FXG) CEO Anthony Reilly speaks with Proactive soon after the company completed an RC drill program at the NW Array and Scrafford targets at its Treasure Creek project. Felix is the largest minerals claim owner in the Fairbanks Gold Mining District in Alaska and the company aims to delineate a near surface commercial resource at Treasure Creek which potentially could provide additional ore supply to Kinross Gold's Fort Knox. With all 45 assay results for gold and antimony from the recent drilling now received Felix is advancing towards a maiden resource for the NW Array Southern Zone in Q4 this year. Reilly said of already released assays, “We are delighted with the assay results from 17 additional holes at our Treasure Creek Project within the esteemed Fairbanks Gold Mining District in Alaska, USA, from the NW Array Prospect. These results carry substantial weight as they have definitively delineated the NNE orientation of mineralised gold zones, including zones rich in high-grade antimony. Notably, drill hole 23TCRC177 was strategically placed along pre-existing access tracks to explore the potential for NE-trending mineralization. This drill hole yielded expansive mineralised zones located hundreds of meters away from the established primary gold zone which remains open. "This achievement marks a significant milestone, opening a more extensive potential strike length and revealing the potential for parallel trends supported by soil anomalies. Notably, primary gold mineralisation remains open at varying depths and directions. The strategic drilling approach is concentrated on targeting near-surface oxide gold mineralisation, displaying grades comparable to, or surpassing, the current head grades of nearby Kinross’s Fort Knox Mine, a local Tier 1 gold mine searching for additional ore supply."
