Thanks for accepting the add. Some years ago, I came across your song on the Musica Celestia Sampler 2, and I was quite amazed by its delicacy and melancholy. Unfortunately, I was unable to get hold of anything else, then... so it's great to be in touch with you... All the best...
Que musica mas hermosa la que hacen
una maravillosa voz y delicada melodia, la cancion The Key of Dreams me hizo estremecer aunque no este completa =/...
