Hoos Foos (Inspired By the Poem "Ninna Nanna del Sinis" By Stefano Benni) [feat. Rowland Sutherland]

Rough Elephants = Hector Navarrete + Gerart.
The League Of Numbers = Manolo Rodriguez + Gerart.

 I studied with some people during some years seriusly but I think I am a self-taught musician, I look for another ways to understanding music, very personal and at the same time universal, true that I can express the knowlege using colors, mantras, mandalas, also little mathematics...  apreciating all the pedagogical tools that all this means.

 Thank you so much for listening!

Flautist, composer, arranger, bandleader and educator.
Likes page features tracks I've played on that are on other Soundcloud pages!
Reposts feature myself either soloing on flute or leading ensembles.
