| Dear
friends,
The end of 2008 draws near and it’s good to be back home again,
riding our bikes, surfing the ocean on the east coast of Australia.
Three months of touring and bed-hopping through Europe and Australia
has left its mark. Thanks to all you generous friends –too many
to list- who have cared for us and let us in to your homes. Thanks to
all of you who attended our shows.
We recorded a new CD for Stockfisch Records whilst in Germany, which
should be released in 2009. Some touring is bound to follow.
Carl
will continue doing solo appearances to promote his new CD and book
‘Tarab. Travels with my guitar’ www.carlcleves.com
& www.myspace.com/carlcleves
Parissa
will launch her new band ‘Diaspora Latina’ at the National
Folk Festival in Canberra, Australia at Easter. The band will feature
songs from the former Portuguese and Spanish colonies, from Mozambique
to Cuba, Brazil to Cabo Verde. Something special to look forward to.
We wish you all a fantastic 2009, spreading that positive energy around.
The world sure needs it.
Carl & Parissa
