An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.
Chinese Proverb
In Sweden, a “red thread” means the connecting dots in a story – the theme. The theme with our first CD is a celebration of that we are all connected, and that we all have a unique story to be told and heard. This is a sharing of our story, in Swedish tunes.
