Acclaimed Canadian-based guitarist, composer, and producer JESSE COOKtoday (9/22) partnered with AXS.comto premiere the official music video-shot in Cartagena, Colombia last month-for “Hembra.”The song appears on COOK’s new 12-track studio album, BEYOND BORDERS (released September 15 via eOne Music), which debuted at #1 on the iTunes World Music Albums Chart and remained atop the chart for a week. Click here to watch the “Hembra” video.
“I had a blast making this video with my friend Juan Medrano, in his beautiful home town of Cartagena, Colombia,” COOK told AXS. “We wrote this song together, and Juan suggested we make a video for it. His Dad (a baseball coach) and brother (a math teacher) came out to help us film some of the scenes where we were both in the frame. I gave everyone a crash course in shooting ‘full manual’ with Cine Lenses on a steadicam, and they all did amazingly well. Never think you can’t afford to chase your dreams! The budget for this was the cost of two plane tickets. The most fun I’ve had in years.”
Living up to the album’s title, the JUNOAward-winning musician’s new record explores a sonic landscape unfettered by geography, ethnicity and musical styles to forge a unique world music hybrid. Thealbum is available via iTuneshere.
Tonight, COOK kicks off his “Beyond Borders”North American tour in Hartford, CT; itwill travel down the eastern seaboard of the United States before making its way across Canada through the end of November. COOK and his band will stop in New York City at the Society for Ethical Culture tomorrow (9/23) and then hit such cities as Annapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale, among many others.

Recorded over two years in Toronto,BEYOND BORDERS is the follow-up to 2015’s One World. The new album places COOK in the driver’s seat as he wrote, recorded and arranged the music, creating templates with deep emotional foundations before inviting collaborators to add nuance and shading to the compositions. “Everything on this album comes from my own experience,” says COOK. “I was going through a difficult period in my life and it blew the door of my imagination wide open. I went for a huge sound, without limits. I threw away the rules, trying to find places I’d never been before, and I got there. The sad songs are sadder, the rhythms are more intricate, the sounds mashed up to look at traditional patterns in a new way.”
BEYOND BORDERS is the most sonically diverse and distinctive disc in COOK’s vast and varied catalog which has earned him 11 JUNO nominations and one JUNO win in the Best Instrumental Album category for 2000’s Free Fall.
