Their very latest program "RAY" is a bow to the "high priest of soul", to Ray Charles. Without taking away the essence of his music, ROOT AREA has turned Ray Charles' classics into completely original instrumental pieces that sound as if they had never existed any other way. And above all, they retain that "scream", that bluesy quality that is the urgency of Ray Charles' music. The energy and ferocity, the groove and the fat arrangements of two saxophones and Hammond remain ROOT AREA's trademark in their latest program.

„Soul is when you take a song and make it a part of you — a part that's so true, so real, people think it must have happened to you. … It's like electricity — we don't really know what it is, do we? But it's a force that can light a room.
Soul is like electricity, like a spirit, a drive, a power.“
Ray Charles
