Carlos Soto met Maria Desbordes in Brittany during Celtas Cortos’ last tour. She replaced a member of the band with uillean-pipes and whistle. Together they started to create a mixture of Breton folk music and sensitive electronic music. It was a matter of researching in the look for new sounds while using ancient instruments, such as uillean pipes and flute, combined with the beauty of the almost elf-like Armoric sounds, an innovating way of singing and some sax solos in the line of Jan Garbareck. All in all, for Awen Magic Land the “celtic trip” had started, and it immediately became a magic flight beyond sound and time.
