Interview with the great Peruvian DJ and Journalist Helene Ramos
May 2019 in Lima
Some days ago, while visiting Lima, Helene Ramos came see me. He hand't met in many years. She wanted to know how was my life in Paris and listen to my new compositions. I performed for her and my mother what later Helene called "Concert for 3."
Helene Ramos is famous in the Peruvian underground scene. In the 1990s and 2000s she used to have a very popular radio show named "2001 mil años después" (2001 one thousand years later) in the popular station Radio Miraflores. I was lucky to have been interviewed by her at her show when I was starting to perform and she wrote the first critic of my EP of 2004 "Marina Tremolo."
Thank you Helene for your unconditional support!

I don’t really want to judge myself
I don’t really care for what they say
In any case one can never be loved by everyone
And the hummingbird flying next to me
Keeping safe my dreams, how I live my life
He tells me where to find my dreams if I forget
Dreams for me, should never stay behind
Our dreams, you see, can take us far!
I don’t ask for more than I can give
So don’t worry my love, this time it’s meant to be
You wonder when the world will change but until then:
Dreams for me, should never stay behind
Our dreams, you see, can take us far!
INSTRUMENTAL
Daydreamers, you and I and soon
One thousand more partners with the same goals !
INSTRUMENTAL
I cannot choose, but to follow them
My dreams, won’t lose, I’ll fight for them!
