Hapa Hopo Haji

The track “Happa Hoppo Haji“ (music and lyrics by my friend Joerg Scharfenberger/from CD Nityamos Brazilian Kaleidoscope) tells a friendly dream: All children are singing a song of our planet, heralding the end of wars and religious differences, peace, happiness finally reigns on this earth. Rolf Stahlhofen of the “water is right“ foundation has really identified with this topic and gave the “OK“ for his participation. The scenario starts with a batucada, singing by children in an imaginative language, changing into a salsa rhythm. Thanks for the great solos by Fabinho Costa on trumpet and Júnior Xanfer on solo guitar. feat: Rolf Stahlhofen (Voice in english), Marcelo Pereira( dr.) , Joerg Schoellhorn (piano and keys), Fabinho Costa (Trp) , Júnior Xanfer (guitar solo) , Mongol Vieira (Bass), Sandi Maia (Narrator in portuguese), Lula Menezes (Phrase in spanish) and his daughter Laura and friends ( childrens choir), Stephan Hitzelberger (programming and perc/ translation of the spoken text into Portuguese ) and Joerg Scharfenberger ( Nityamo) himself on Nylonguitar .
