Teta was born into a family of musicians, and started to focus on becoming a performer from the age of 13. After many years of leading tsapiky bands for dances and celebrations, he found his voice as a solo musician relatively recently. This song was recorded outdoors, under the open sky in the dry heat of the south-west. It speaks about someone who is far away, in another land. There is something about this someone that he likes, but can't define. All he knows is that that something is precious and wonderful.

Vinyl version. Well, you'll hear from which medium this was sourced (cassettes), but this ain't no complaint as it puts you back into the time it was recorded. And a musically great time it was as you experience on this absolutely heartical compilation. Think this one will grow with further listening. Thanks for this one, Ostinato Records!! Markus Bader

I have to say that this one is one of the finest compilation I've ever seen. The story, the cover, the pictures, the booklet and of course the music! Just magic, like a time machine. fabmeyer
