I listened to this again, and it just keeps sounding better and better with each play - I feel like I am already completely addicted! Bravo Antonio!

I knew it! I had just been listening to something else on SoundCloud when this came on unexpectedly. I was busy emailing and didn't realise whose music it was, then the guitar soloing in the middle of the tune broke right through and caught my full attention. I thought "Who the heck is this great guitarist - sounds like Django-style music bit it's not his guitar style. So I had to look who it was - and it was Antonio!!!

Dear Antonio and daughter Maya (on the melodica), I adore your performance of "Waltz for Django" in Lefkas 23.07.13 so so much <3 It made me so enthousiastic and so I searched online to find which melodica Maya plays and ... taadaa I found it: the Angel Melodica 27 and I am enjoyng playing it so much! Thank you Antonio and Maya for inspiring me! <3 :)  For my dear friends who would love to see that video too, here is the YT link -> https://youtu.be/X0R4jvQaO_U Lots of love fram Amsterdam <3

"I met Chiwoniso in Harare ( Zimbabwe) during the HIFA festival in 2006, I was immediately captured by her voice and her amazing stage presence. We met afterwards and had a chat about life and music, both left with a promise to make music together.  Few years later (2011) I was called back to perform in Harare again, Chi agreed to write the lyrics on two songs I was working on. The result was just a-m-a-z-i-n-g, when I discussed money she answered “I just would like you to play in my album next time..”  Miss you Chi   a xx
