Dear reader, hello !
As promised, but with some delay, Vinilkosmo opens the year with Jacques Yvarts new album after his recovery from a
heart operation, which contributed to slow down the process, but this among an anthology of other small technical
problems that make "Invito por vojagxo" an album that will count as one of the most symbolic of our productions.
The Duoble Unu CD already reedited two months after its release, our Hip Hop Compilation project waking up after some
drowsiness, Carlos Devizia episodicaly maturing his rather unusual soundscape, and many other projects under way or
about to succeed in 2008 all tend to predict a quite interesting year ahead.
While wishing you pleasant reading and a nice stroll through the many links that come to confirm the increasing presence
of Esperanto and its music scene on the web, thank you for your time and attention !

Our challenge for 2008 !
Cxiam Bizara Lando (Always a strange land)
Carlos Devizia is a multi-talented artist from Argentina who navigates through painting, graphics, music and video.
"Cxiam" (Always) is the first song in Esperanto that Carlos has finished, but others are close or in progress and he
plans to complete his album "Bizara Lando" in the course of the year.
Carlos offers an eclectic mix of sound sources, both electronic as well as more traditional like the saxophone,
clarinet, keyboards and other unusual instruments such as the didgeridoo or ukulele, thus highlighting the
multi-cultural aspect of Esperanto through structures and scales from throughout the world.
A video clip on the song "Cxiam" directed by Carlos and invoking a quest for freedom was published on "la Farbskatol" to
announce the preparation of the album.
To produce his clip, Carlos has used a few films and photos from the public domain and created animations conveying an
atmosphere as strange as his music :
