"A Patient Man Will Eat Ripe Fruit." ~African Proverb


• The album travels the world featuring international sounds and instrumentation ranging from Brazil, to Jamaica, to Senegal to Switzerland, and is sung in 5 different languages.

• The first single, Aellei started the summer off with an evening acoustic touch, featuring exotic instrumentation that would just as easily be heard in Brazil, as it would drifting across a city rooftop in Zurich. Aellei was produced solo by Elijah, written during a trip to Salvador de Bahia in 2010.

• It retains some of the Italian "Cantautore" songwriting style that can be found on his 2008 track 'Sie Isch Wag' (500K Youtube), but musically introduces sounds not often heard in local Swiss music, combining the guitar and flute with the Brazilian "Guija", and the sound of a traditional farmers milk can or "Canna", in the way a Gypsy brings sound to life using simple means.

• Written and produced aellei and solo by Elijah, this was the first song created and planted for the new album.

lyrics

AELLEI ~ LYRICS:

wänn di kei hand meh hebt
und niemert meh mit dir schwebt
wänn mit öperem drüber redsch
und debi inere andere welt schwebsch
wänn alles wo du wetsch
doch nöd nur ein name het

wärsch nöd ällei ällei ällei
ja so ällei

mängisch gits sache woni nöd uswieche chan
wie wärs mitme lache wännis no han
mängisch gits sache woni nöd uswieche chan
d welt chönt ikrache und doch hets no e wand
doch hets no e wand e wand doch hets no e wand

estoy solo tan solo
