Saluti da Taipei, vanno bene le cose... Guardate le foto nuove! Sto qui al Dream Community per 5 settimane sta volta, e sto benone.
I ragazzi di Camphor Tree school stanno suonando bene gli miei arrangiamenti delle canzoni aboriginali e populari coi ritmi brasiliani, e fra poco andiamo allo studio da registrarli. Poi loro vanno in giro in Taiwan - e magari nel mondo - da suonare questa musica bellissima e pazzescha.
Il capo del questo posto, Gordon, sta realizzando il suo sogno - da fare le parade della samba dappertutto in Taiwan, ai villaggi aborigionali.
Sono andata al sud Taiwan l'altro giorno, ai villagi aboriginali da participare nelle parade di samba - e ho ballato coi vecchietti sconosciuti sotto gli alberi di banana... E' stato un sogno da vedere le montagne ripide coperte delle nuvole davanti il mare splendente (pieno dei peschi volanti), e da incontrare una gente bellissima, tutti ridendo ai miei giochi delle mani... Non fregava che non potevamo capire le nostre lingue diverse, perche' abbiamo diviso le nostre anime. Strepitoso!

I'm once again staying at the Dream Community, 5 weeks this time, and I'm really happy.
I posted some new photos....
The kids at Camphor Tree school are playing my arrangements of aboriginal & popular Taiwanese music put to Brazilian beats - and they're doing it well. I'll be producing the songs in a studio here in Taipei pretty soon. Then the kids will be performing this wacky new repertoire all around Taiwan this summer - and hopefully offshore as well.
I'm once again staying at the Dream Community, 5 weeks this time, and I'm really happy. The head of this organization, Gordon, is realizing his dream - to make samba parades performed by aboriginal children, in aboriginal villages all over Taiwan.
The other day I went to a couple of aboriginal villages in South Taiwan for the first time, to take part in samba parades (performed by children) - and I found myself dancing with village elders under banana trees. It was truly a dream (and just like classical painting from these parts), seeing steep craggy mountains covered with clouds in front of the resplendent sea full of flying fish, and to meet absolutely beautiful, open hearted people, laughing at my funny hand & finger games. No one cared that we shared little common spoken language, because we were sharing our souls. Stunningly beautiful!
