“The exceptional is what corresponds to the expectations of your heart”

Our eyes open on the World, our eyes open to see the Life, to feel the Life. This is a journey from our roots, inspired by the African spirit, not just aimed to mix amadran, afro-beat and folk-rock but to remind us that what is true is the Reality, what is true is what we live, daily, loving (Ne muso), suffering and crying (Il fuoco alla finestra, Kele), slowing down our crazy living rhythm (Su maya), jamming with our friends (Bibisa, Je m’amuse), thanking for what has been given to us (Mistico Ritorno – Yala; Ne nalu).

It is our invitation to live, keeping our Eyes open over the World.
