Contrées sonores 003

Contrées sonores 003 : Juerga nocturna a Pacha, Buenos Aires, 2016

Released early, for your listening pleasure... Whispers on Rio de la Plata... selected and mixed with love.

Dans un monde où le quotidien se voit précaire et imprévisible, le futur incertain et le moral abattu, les gens recherchent un brin d'espoir et de félicité... Planant sur la crête d'une vague au cœur de l'Atlantique, voguant entre les Baléares et l'estuaire du Rio de la Plata, le cœur ardent, le front emperlé d'embruns et l'esprit plongé dans une douce béatitude, Ami 8 présente ce petit ruissellement de bonheur...
