This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R

Nomad wander through lands far and wide, Camped beneath the stars up in the sky. I awake in Liberchies one day Beneath looming clouds so cold and grey. Musique Metisse Saint Marie de la Mer, Gather my tribe afar. Music all night through to the dawn Bal Musette is to be born Music all night through to the dawn. Fate brings new sounds to pierce my hurt heart, Sound of swinging trumpet worlds apart Louis's sound forever haunts my mind Stephane's soul and mine forever bind Dark Clouds arrive to break up all love War and survival thrive Hard times yet music heals my soul The Maestro I am so told Hard times yet music heals my soul After war is over change comes fast, Neglect sets and people feel less heart. Decades after I have left this world Bale Boldo keeps my story told. From a land far and wide travel I Music is all I know. Fractured history to no end Music heals and language mends One day I come to Koblenz. 24.7.14 All songs are the original compositions of Daniel Weltlinger, with additional harmonies composed by Ian Date. Horn and String arrangements by Daniel Pliner (tracks 7-9). Daniel Weltlinger would like to thank BNP Paribas Australia and the BNP Paribas Foundation for their kind generosity in funding this recording project. This recording is dedicated to the life and times of Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) and to the entire Reinhardt family from Koblenz in particular Lulo Reinhardt and the late Bawo Reinhardt (1941-2013). This is a recording also dedicated to reaching an understanding of the complexity of history and circumstance that affects many people from around the world, in particular those from a Jewish or Sinti/Roma background. It is a prayer for peace.
