"... then no girl in the kampong was able to get to sleep."

®chestra doesn't make folklore and isn't a museum - in her hands a novel music arises, of which she hopes it will eventually inspire others. Sometimes echoes from far away were brought along; at times they were heard in a restaurant around the corner or in a busy shopping street.
On this cd ®chestra is assisted vocally by Oulfa Rouached (Tunisia) and the Colourful City Choir, a fusion choir of Ensemble Blos (Overasselt), Ongehoord Gezelschap (Wijchen), Cantate (Groesbeek), KION Choir (Nijmegen), Die Fünf (Nijmegen) and other vocalists (from Everywhere).
The echoes on this cd originated in Bulgaria, Afghanistan, former Yugoslavia, Algeria, Turkey, Uzbekistan, China, Peru, the Ukrain, Moravia and the Kei Islands:

"With this cd, ®chestra delivers another fatal blow to the current fashion of stuffing extra length into recordings by diluting a few choice tracks with empty filler.
There's no filler here, each track as vibrant, soulful, intense and interesting as the next, inviting the listener to immerse himself additionally into a stellar recording."
