Seven Lost Cities
Imagine a trip in the past: Spanyard "conquistadores" exploring a Maya jungle, looking for the Seven Lost Cities of Cibola. Okay, there you are!
The track is an electro-etnic soundtrack (tense ambient sounds, meaning the mistery, ethnic percussions and flute as symbols of the indigenous cultures), with rich electronic sounds (the modernity of a time travel, the subject of our 3rd album), a baritone saxophone solo (war and adventure) and flutes (other than recall a bit of south america, it also represent the adventure).
About the 7 cities of Cibola (from the Net)...
Perhaps it was this vision of paradise, but most likely greed, that inspired the 16th century explorations of Americas by the Spanyards Cortez, Coronado, Pizarro and the other "conquistadores", the warrior-explorers who subjugated the precolombian populations to the rule of the King of Spain. Their insatiable thirst for the riches contained in the fabled Seven Cities Of Cibola most likely contributed to the savage slaughter of thousands of indigenous peoples. The Seven Cities have never been found but speculation places them in many different places, all in the American continent. The legend said "everything was made of gold", and the legend itself is related with "El Dorado".
I know some is giving exoteric meanings to those search for the gold cities, but here we are just for the legend in itself.
