The music is a very special mixture of WORLD MUSIC: Calypso and Salsa, groovy african tunes by Meki Nzewi, a korean temple dance, blues, Sun Ra's "A Call For All Demons" and last but not least a walk through Dahab in the wind from the Red Sea.

On two tunes DIETER WEBERPALS (flute) joins the trio.

The CD will be released on the label bibiworld in spring 2005.
