I will dance

to the music that I´m listening

loosing all my fear

I will dance

to the rhythm of my heart

not to be longer unsplit of my culture

I will dance

to the rhythm of my soul

without forget my raizes

I will dance

proud and wild

like an unbroaken child

I will dance

to the music which I´m hearing

althougt you don´t can hear it.

Eleven years ago I came to Europe. My first objective was to get to know the culture of the "old" continent and to experience it in depth. From here I planned then to travel to further continents to enrich my spirit through contact with places and peoples thus far unknown to me. I carried with me no articles of material value.

My greatest treasure was stored safetly in my soul:

It was the strength of a musical dream, the same strength which has become manifest in my recorded works - including this CD´s.

My first years in Europe were anything but easy. I had a great struggle to find a space which could offer me the stability I so urgently needed to achieve my goal.

I eventually found this space in Germany.

After passing this first test I felt able to travel to more distant destinations: Africa, Asia, North America. In my search for different forms of expression of spiritual strength I visited the holy places of these three continents.

But in the end I discovered that the world, regardless of its seemingly endless variety of cultures, represents a singel spiritual community of peoples, all enjoying the wondrous gifts the Great Father provides from day to day and without differentiation.

Roughly a four ago I was told that I was seriously ill. After the initial shock I gradually came to realise that this situation was a new test life was asking of me. The ability to pass this test can be expressed in one sentences:

LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE BY SHARING THE MOST EXTREME FORM OF HUMAN SUFFERING.

My contact with people in a similar situation showed me the importance that comforting and encouraging words can have, as can the simple gesture of just listening: they are the clearest signs that the God of Life is within us.

Today I am well on the way to recovery and would like to emphasise that I was not healed my means of materials foreign to my body but by the strength I myself created or discovered.

I experienced the decisive return of my strength during a night in May: while I was looking at the full moon I felt the urgent need to express my pain and my will to survive: the fundamental idea for my two recorded projects " Life and Existences" was born.

• Full Moon Session
• My Spirit Sings

With this work I have realised a dream of integration and transcendence on a musical level. I am convinced I have done my best to gather melodic forms of expression from native cultures of North and South America and to unite them within a single musical work, using autochthon instruments from both regions togehter with Afro - Cuban percussion.

The symbiosis is, however, not restricted to the American continent as we have also integrated elements of further cultural areas, such as a string quartet and various types of quitar (Europe), tabil (Indian percussion), dizi and shakuhashi (Chinese and Japanese flutes respectively) and didgeridoo (Australia). From the purely technical point of view, this production always aims to reproduce the authentic "live" sound of each individual instrument.
