Espacio de Tres

First part of a mixtapeseries, ‘Tamborismos’. 
This is an ode to percussion instruments and rhythms of the world, honoring the universal law of rhythm. 

Primitive and modern, minimalistic and cinematographic percussions that emerge in a mystic dance of tribal passion, rituals, tropical dreams and abstract polyrhythms. The expression of life on earth.

Written by the great Nigerian guitar player ‘Bombino’.
"The unity of musicians around the world playing on this song is a statement that music is part of the foundation from which we rebuild our humanity and our world together".

English translated lyrics:
I greet my country where I left my parents
I greet my country
I greet my country where I left my love
I greet my country
I greet my country where I left my community I greet my country
You know that I am suffering from it
I greet my country

Arising Minds

This song is inspired by the Senufo people and their rich music and dance culture. 

The Senufo people are an ethnolinguistic group composed of various subgroups, they live in the middle region of the Volta River of Central Africa that includes parts of Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Mali. The balafon instrument is a symbol of identity for the community - it's music provides the rhythm for their ritual and festive dances.
