The second album, for which this campaign has been started, was written in the middle of the forests, the banks of the rivers and the heart of the valleys of the South American continent. It tells of the 12 500 miles-long road-trip that has led from Peru, down the Chilean coast, across the Andes, through Argentina, to Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia and Peru.</p>

Places (the Quebradas of La Higuiera where the Che was murdered), people (Father Angel, the Kids, Mme Irma) and experiences (San Pedro, the crossing of the Bolson) have shaped these songs that prolong the feeling of freedom of this journey…</p>

The recording will once again be taken care of by our favourite sound-engineer Perceval Carré, loyal friend and fellow worker in song. As he is a favourite with the crowd at the 114, we have chosen this venue for the launch of our campaign, it will be the first of a series of concerts to promote the campaign, on the 8th of March at the 114, Rue Oberkampf, Paris</p>
