If you would like to contribute, let LTO know. The door is widely open for any creative input ... This project reflects African moods and colors. The basic energy is light and playful, but sometimes shows up also a silent longing, a subtle home sickness. I had my good friend Yvo Mansel record some afro-gibberish vocal lines for some of the songs, just to demonstrate how I imagine the vocals (but the final ones may be completely different). I would be happy if I could complete this project with the help of native african musicians ... so come on and join! african moods - a bunch of colors and moods This is the soil we all come from. A huge continent with immeasurable musical treasures. There may be more ethnic groups, languages and muscial traditions than in the entire rest of the world. The African trail is definitely not authentic “ethnic” but just a personal expedition. To meet and co-create with African musicians would be a wonderful, exiting experience. the african trail - the roots The Indian Trail tries to capture some sounds and spices from mystic India, and there is still a lot of space for every kind of creative input. the indian trail contact  |  info > go top
