than Gold, Algerian pop artist Khaled's "Love to the People" single featuring Carlos Santana, and Iraqi singer Kadim Al-Saher and Paula Cole on the single "Love and Compassion". In February 2006, Porter welcomed Latin rock band, Ozomatli to his Calabasas, California studio to record Don't Mess with the Dragon, their March 2007 release. The band and Porter had a history together that began when the producer invited them to guest on Santana's 2002 Shaman album. The following year, Porter co-wrote and produced "Love and Hope" and "(Who Discovered) America", for Ozomalti's Street Signs album. With Don't Mess with the Dragon, "Ozomatli and Porter baked up an album that reflects the band's diverse ethnic makeup and 'oppositional politics' (how it characterizes its brand of activism). But even more fundamentally, the members of Ozomatli believe in the politics of dancing." 2010-present: Solo artist On August 2, 2013, Porter released his first solo album, Where the Soul is Born, on Insignia Records. The record, aka De Donde Nace El Alma has bilingual songs and features twelve tracks that are spiritually inspired in his belief in the oneness of humanity. Many of the songs were co-written with JB Eckl, Porter's song collaborator for Santana. “Canto”, originally written and demoed by the duo for Santana is included on Where the Soul is Born with Porter's vocals. “La Pared,” the first single from Porter's next solo album, Cruzanderos, was released August 2, 2019 and features singer Allison Iraheta and rapper Olmeca on the “pop, tropical and reggaeton” song. The album of twelve songs, released November 1, 2019, thematically “tells the stories about people seeking freedom, or fleeing the violence of their countries, stories and struggles that, according to the musician, need to be told.” Other songs include a new version of “Canto", with Colombian marimba-inspired group Herencia de Timbiquí; “Quisiera”, with Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno; "El viajero"; "Pasaporte" (with Puerto Rican singer La India); "Virgen del sol" (with Argentine musician-composer Gustavo Santaolalla); "Mártires"; "Tanta locura"; "Será"; "24 horas"; and "Ruiseñor”.
