This is the beautiful view on Vertus. We picked some grapes to measure their maturity with a refractometer.

Caught by a “Chameleon”

Some days ago I’ve been to that street music festival with two friends of mine. We wandered through the streets, listened to the artists and nearly had passed a band, when an amazing voice started to sing.

I was so impressed that we had to go back and  instantly buy a CD, whatever the price would be.

This was the sound of summer, the sound of the incoming autumn, a melancholic winter. I could even hear the flowers blossom in spring after their restful winter sleep.

No, just kidding. This man behind the microphone with his band behind his back simply impressed me with his music.

So I bought the CD while they were playing this old latin standard song called “Chan Chan” from Buena Vista Social Club.

The next day when I got home I listened to that CD nearly a 100 times. At first I just noticed the memorable lines with the perfectly fitting music. But the more I listened to that CD, the more I realized what he exactly was singing. His words emitted certain desire, but also a lot of experience. This album touches me deeply.

All in all this Album called  “Chameleon” by Duncan Woods impressed me deeply and I would recommend it to everybody who likes good styles of music, mixed together and combined with some great lyrics!

Give it a listen!
