“Finally! The recording and step forward that will allow the pandeiro to have a predominant role alongside harmonic and melodic instruments in what are usually considered “risky” musical environments for percussionists … a landmark for others to follow.” -- Percussioni Magazine

Allright! You made me think you still hadn't made it back "home" :) 5 weeks is good. Especially now. And probably later even better! I mean, in the wintertime... it must be so relaxing with the sun & everything. The article? Good, tnx :) Unfortunately I didn't have much space, so that I could write all you both told me... I had to sum it up. Anyways, again, it was extremely interesting listening to you. I hope there'll be other chances in the future. You could come with R.C. next year again :) Enjoy in NYC!
