Lily Dahab

Over the last years we toured around Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As well we were invited to Jazz festivals in Sweden, Switzerland and Lituania. Meanwhile we composed and arranged, we threw things to the bin and we developed and rehearsed for our next CD called "Bajo un mismo cielo" ("Under the same sky"). This music now is the result of 2 years of intensive work which makes us very happy! For this next CD we include very special songs, some of them are classics of the latinamerican world, reborn in new jazz versions. And of course our compositions which have to be send into the world!

Our goal is to give our very best, to make the best album possible.
To make us and you happy ;-)
With your help we can make a super sounding and great looking album! And it´s a wonderful way to finance it, to do this together and say thank you.
For everybody who loves music and wants to take part in a project which without him or her wouldn´t be possible in this quality and professionality.
To include the listener and the followers of our music, in the process of making an album, to get something special which will only be available for 4 weeks, by contributions people get something special.

To support this project means to help but getting something in return:

Because you like our music? Or think we are nice people?
It´s much more than this! We take music in a very respectful and serious way, we take our time to bring a CD to the market, and we are sure this one will make you smile, dance and cry, it´s a CD full of emotions!!!

Because people keep coming to our concerts, people enjoy our music, buy our CDs, encourage us, support us, follow us, live our music, because we live for the music, we put 24hrs, weekends, passion and love into our music...and this process is over when it comes to the listener. What is a CD without a listener? You! are part of our motivation, your wish .. to enlight your life with our music.

The truth is this : there´s nothing more exciting to make your own music, to be on tour, to be on stage, to perform for people and to connect with the heart of the people through music.

An album always is a highlight and a stopover. With this campaign you can become active, when we hopefully proudly give the rewards at the end of this 4 weeks we hope you would be proud to have been part of this project together with us on the way of making it possible.

In case we are succesful we could pay the costs necessary for making an album of a very high quality :

Our musicians (quartet), our guests (2 guitarists, 2 percussionists, a Viola player, a Flugelhorn player, a drummer) , the Studios, Editing, Mixing, Mastering, Photo session, Art work, documentation about rehearsals, recording, live concerts on video, New website and Promotion.
All the money we will hopefully raise here will be directly used for the production of our album!
To break it down for you a little here are some oft the big cost pools:

− Studio Rental
By far the biggest cost. We record in studios which have at least 4 booths to be able to record live, with a Grand piano (sometimes added cost of tunning)
.
A studio costs € 600 – per day! only to record.

− Mixing / Mastering
However recording is not all there is to a CD production. Now it's time for mastering.
The Mixing and Mastering usually takes more time than the actual recording and is a very sophisticated job for our audio engineer. Sessions of 8 hours or even longer.

- CD Art, photos and design
At the end of this process there is the CD with an attractive booklet, Professional design.

The CD will be published at the end of May 2018!
