Alvaro Rovira Ruiz has a musical background in the tango and Latin-American folklore. He studied in Buenos Aires and Rotterdam and is currently conductor and teacher of a Argentine folklore ensemble and at the Rotterdam conservatoire.
Meike grew up on a bio organic farm in the north of the Netherlands. After several music projects in the field of psychiatry (children and youth), she started her education in Brazilian music at the Codarts conservatoire, Rotterdam.

The lyrics are written by poet Vinicius de Moraes. They speak about love and the temptation to fell from pain in craftiness and deceit, and about the quest to stay close to your good heart and keep receiving and giving pure love.
