Here you can listen the complete evolution of the song Children of the Earth.


No doubts that the song was born in Barcelona, in this old and special sofa I'll always remember, under the painting of the lady with an umbrella surrounded by trees. But mainly it was a song who lived inside the guitar that Kuko bought when he was in Argentina, it just came out when I played it.

Guitar and voice: dAvid Blanco. Home studio. Barcelona. April 2012.
