La Pòrta de Seda - La porte de Soie - The silken door - Hombeline (Book + CD)

For all those who will take these texts and Occitan songs into their hearts and minds.
This creation, a bearer of peace and joy, is offered as an invitation to take care of your inner wealth.

"I wrote these short Occitan poems in the spirit of the Japonese Haïkus; in this concert I will sing them as if is was Indian Mantras. My wish is to bring particular attention to self-awarness. The simplicity of haïkus impulse its poetic expression. The aim of the mantra is to quieten the mind. During this performance , you are invited to join in with a meditative attitude that will link your consciousness to your inner self. "The silken door" is a light vail similar to the butterfly's wing; the precious cloth of the present caresses us as we pass by and it opens for us the door of the Self."

The book contains contemporary occitan songs written by Hombeline and written in a decorative hand by Délia Vlad with drawings by Maximilien Gilhodes.
Composed and arranged by Hombeline and Patrick Decerf.
