In GRATITUDE we look back onto the last three years full of big challenges for us on many levels… yet our trust in life (however shaken it got…) and with the undecscribable support of the spirits, the love of so many amazing friends, divine mother nature and through the healing powers of music, singing, yoga and meditation we somehow managed not to drown in the sea of roaring waves… instead we eventually allowed them to take us back to the shore… and here we are even closer and happier together as before, grateful for each and every up and down, carefully gathering up all the presents life threw onto our path and gracefully riding the new waves with more ease and a lot of joy. The music on this album reflects quite a few steps of our journey. In Mexíco we discovered the real power of Mama Cacao and fell in love with the medicines of Latinamerica – the jungle, the wildlife and most of all the music sung in various ceremonies. Gracias a la vida – todo es amor! Ancient Mantras from India of course keep on conquering our hearts again and again… forever grateful for the magic of Kundalini and Bhakti Yoga in our life… sending blessings and love to all of you! May our music support you on your path, may it help you to grow deeper into trust, to find peace in yourself and to love boundlessly… Life is perfect as it is, love it or not, keep on shining and don´t hold anything back anymore – you are so welcome and so loved !!!
