New album entitled
“Herbs and Roots”
"The world is a universal
language and that is what I am in the world for, that what I believe
in. I left Mozambique because of the War, political at that time
didn’t get a chance to explore my youth. I picked
up the bass through loving music, and spread the
message of oneness and peace. With a lot of musical instruments, the world
will be a beautiful place." |
