Reza (Pray)

This song has the most primary pulse, that of life and mother nature. It is an invitation to work from the personal in trying to generate from the energy those vibrations so necessary for the harmony of our life in communion with the universe. It is the invitation to that prayer so necessary in these times, prayer beyond religions.

Planet says

"Planet says" is a reggae song with an ironic approach. The planet tells us that we better worry about us than her because, as humans, we're probably the ones who will pay the worst for our mistakes while she will keep on turning. She has been here so long-time before us, she will keep on bouncing on the different scenarios that will appear with the other planets and stars of the Universe. We are the little ones. It seems that our arrogance makes us feel even able to destroy nature while actually we're probably just able to destroy ourselves.

BAGLE SI

The power is in you. You are one with the Universe and the Creator. The Earth must be saved. The spirit wanders overseas and mountains. Listen to the sound of the waves as nature weeps. She is dying a little more every day. During my trip to Senegal, I had the chance to learn to express my feelings through melody, song and rhythm. This song unites several musical universes. Despite Covid, I was fortunate to work with musicians such as Brice Essomba, Caroline Etoa, Ben Bossambo and Sandro Friedrich.

Crescer

This music is born in Africa, it grows in Europe but it carries the global call that today sounds in the voices of children all over the world. Children claiming their own future manifest themselves publicly as adults, demanding of us a greater and deeper reflection on the impacts that each attitude today will have traces tomorrow for everyone. Children who postpone school because they understand that without water school does not make sense. Children who grow up to re-teach us to love and preserve Nature. Girls and boys full of hope.

Ila dunia ( save the earth )

Ila dunia(save the earth) Ila Dunia which means (save the earth) is a song that challenges us all to become aware of the state of our planet. Human beings exploit, ruin and destroy nature. The damage caused by our way of life is such that if nothing is done it could lead to irreversible consequences. This song that I suggest, is a call to change, in our habits, our vision, and our way of life. There is always a hope of saving our world, it that saw us being born and, which is obviously a unique gift that we can never replace.
