Beyond happiness to have found a wonderful label which is interested in their artists and in developing really inspiring projects, always with the main focus on the music and the art. Thank you Alpha Classics for going together on a beautiful, long journey.

Have you ever been to Teotihuacán? I rarely saw something more impressive, particularly from a hot air balloon, even if it meant to wake up very early. Certainly a day I shall never forget!
