To love is to listen w/ Maarten Desmet

Antwerp, 30.07.23

This summer, I am travelling back to the country where I once lost my heart; the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. This mix takes you through Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, with traditional music and field recordings, my own recordings in Buddhist temples and a speech by Zen monk Thich Nhat Hahn. Sometimes in the mix there is a weird sidestep to songs that remind me of road trips in the Himalayas and traditional dance parties with my Bhutanese friends. Much listening and travel pleasure!
