Spain
Indialucia
And the second one is that the word "Indialucia" we can translate as "India
enlightened" that is more of the spiritual meaning.
flaMenCo
Flamenco is the music of southern part of Spain from Andalucia. It was born by
the end of XVIII century and was created mainly by Gypsies (their origin is from
India). It's music of simple people who by playing Flamenco music wanted to find
relief from their hard life. So in this historical context, it started to be the very
emotional type of music.
Cultures
I think the most beautiful element in travelling the world is to explore other
cultures. By culture, I mean the way of life, the art, the music, the food, and the
traditions. Anywhere I travel, I always want to know about the place I visit. The
history, the language, the cuisine, the architecture and of course music, there is so
much to explore. I am a musician so naturally, I focus mainly on music, but as
being an architect I also like to feel the cities, buildings and art. And as a food
lover, I like to explore and experiment with new tastes. So far the best food of the
planet is Indian, and I am a very big fan of all the Indian vegetarian dishes.
global Context
I am very much concerned about our environment and sustainability. We are all
part of this world and only it depends on us what will happen to our planet in the
next decades. Nowadays people think more about economic growth than spiritual.
We should stop for a while and think why we are here and where we all go to. By
playing music I believe I can ignite people's hearts and somehow contribute to their
spiritual life.
