HOME - a unique music project for tsunami victims
The aid project receives prominent support from eight renowned German pop musicians. Last year, they recorded the very atmospheric and artistically ambitious CD "HOME" together with the children of the Beluga School for Life.
The charity album was produced directly on-site in only twelve days. For every CD/DVD sold, the tsunami orphans of the Beluga School for Life in Na Nai ("village in the rice field") in the south of Thailand and the School for Life in Chiang Mai receive a donation of five euro. This money will primarily be used to secure the expansion of both schools in order to offer the children a quality education.
Musicians forego compensation
Apart from the organizer, vocalist and documentary director Kai Wingenfelder (member of the band "Fury In The Slaughterhouse"), the producer Jens Krause, the artists Astrid North (member of the Band "Cultured Pearls") and Maya Saban, both vocalists, participated in the production of the CD; additional artists were drummer Stephan Eggert (member of the band "Selig"), vocalist Thomas Hanreich (thom., member of the band "Vivid"), keyboarder Gunter Papperitz (member of the band "Soulounge"), as well as guitarist Henning Rümenapp (member of the band "Guano Apes") - all of the artists gladly donated their contribution to the project.
DVD features impressive documentary
"HOME" contains a dozen warm-hearted songs - a mix of different pop styles, partly interwoven with Thai musical elements. Both the German and English-speaking songs were published in the innovative dual disc format as a combination CD/DVD. The DVD features spectacular pictures capturing the atmosphere and impressions during the creation of "HOME".
