ALUNA by Aleider Bernal Cordoba

Hello Family

Its for me a GREAT GREAT joy to officially announce the release of my new album; ALUNA
This is my third soloalbum and I can truly say to you that I've been looking forward for YEARS to be able to share this collection of my original chants. This album is a pure transmision of unconditional love and celebration flowing through me.
Totally inspired of and dedicated to my daughter, Aluna Naiá

Her gentle and magical arrival to this Earth was orchestrade by countless blessings for me and her mother. I am so touched and honored that she chose me as her father. Feeling deeply grateful to give birth to the NEW EARTH. Being a father is really opening my eyes and heart to see what a marvelous breath giving journey life is.
This album was recorded in my own Studio Pàjaro in Sweden the fall of 2020. On a silent island, just family and nature in humble union. This songs among many more has served as the soundtrack during the womb time, birth and first days of my daughter's life.
