FREE WINDS – INDIAN AIR
Jungle Me Mungle
The Brahdaman
"The realisation of our second CD bases on a spontanous idea which Roland Schaeffer and I developed after a very inspired jamsession together with Selva, Dinsha and Sandhja Sanjana in Bombay in February 1998.
Roland, Jatinder and I went to India for a Free Winds tour at the invitation of the Austrian embassy in New Delhi. And although some parts of the record were already on tape, it was obvious that Selva had to make his contribution.
In March 1999 we were for the first time on the road as a quartet. I hope you can feel a little bit of the joy and the positive vibrations we had during those days. Have fun!"
