EXCERPT from linernotes by LELO NIKA

The music on this album more or less found me. Through moods, places I have visited, and not least through all the wonderful musicians I have met. I had no intention of saying something in particular, and I have not followed any particular set of rules. I only demanded of the music that it should have groove, soul and a bit of madness! All of the musicians were specially invited, because they each have something exceptional to offer musically, but equally important, they are each uniquely special people for me. I have left it up to each of them to play as they choose - we are all different (we must be grateful for the differences) and for us, the closest path to a common ground goes through the world of music.
