TO DO
HOW
Just simply with my family, my wife and my two children: my five-year-old daughter and my five-month-old son (at the time) in a typical and very practical American motorhome.
WHERE
We started with California and the famous «Highway One», then we went to this beautiful region where you can admire the giant redwoods.
GOLD
Still in California, we immersed ourselves in the gold digger area, along the American River: a landscape worthy of «The Little House On The Prairy», including the farrier’s house.
LOLO MAI SPRING
This is a song from the album, written in the the Navajo Indian territory in Arizona, as a tribute to them and to the red desert bordering on a sacred lake.
TUBA CITY
We continued to venture deeper into the lands of Utah, Nevada, ending up in Tuba City - a city with a single street: the main street lined with stalls as in a western movie.
BUFFALO
The American bison is a mythical animal. There were millions. They were decimated by US Army soldiers. The spirit of the buffalo is the spirit of freedom and the idea of the search for a better world.
TRIBUS
We attended an annual meeting between Indian tribes. They are people who are very proud of their culture. It’s not at all something anecdotal or touristy. Native American Indians have, like the bison, also lived through genocide, but their culture is very much alive.
ALBUM
I hope to have captured the atmospheres of these places and these extraordinary encounters on my album.
