Below you can experience a selection of André’s various original compositions, ranging from classical to pop.

Eternal Soul

Eternal Soul is an hommage to the great composer Vangelis, who passed away on May 17th, 2022. This is the main song of André Ripa’s new album “Eternal Soul” debuting in June 2023. For the past thirty years, André has been inspired by Vangelis’ music, which ultimately led him to start composing sixteen years ago. Before this, André was combining the music of Vangelis with dolphin imagery, as part of his therapeutic work with terminally-ill children.

Prayer for Humanity

André was inspired to create the album Prayer for Humanity during the COVID-19 crisis. The collection of compositions carry a message of Love and Compassion for the world. Its title is inspired by the art of Lubosh Cech,”Night Prayer for Humanity”. André had the great pleasure to collaborate at distance with three talented musicians who bring beautiful additions to the piano: cellist Brianna Tam from North Carolina, guitarist Thomas Lyng Poulsen from the Netherlands, and duduk player Sean Pádraig from Austin, Texas. Andre’s piano compositions were recorded in Ojai, California.

Children of the Sun, a song for global unity.

Composed and produced by André, lyrics written and sung by Saith, this song draws inspiration from ancient cultures and wisdom traditions that honor nature and the sacredness of life. The song urges us to step into ourselves and do our part to create a better world.

Nai’a, a celebration of the dolphins, Hawaii’s ambassadors of Aloha.

Composed and produced by André, Nai’a features the voice and celebrates the memory of Aka (Haleaka Iolani Pule), a dear friend and teacher who initiated André’s work with dolphin-assisted therapy fifteen years ago on the Big Island of Hawaii. This song is a celebration of the Aloha Spirit, an energy fully embodied by both Aka and the dolphins. It is our intention to share any profits from this song with those who will continue to further Aka’s mission of Aloha in the world. You can participate by downloading Nai’a here.
