This song is the result of an artistic exchange between desert blues musician ANEWAL and the duo "MeoNeo" around Werner Krotz-Vogel and Claudia Huismann. A dunya timchar literally means: The earth is a place for love and well being. It is the people living on this planet just destroying this beautiful space. Where peace should reign only war and destruction.
Recorded at StudioA in Alfter/Bonn.
