The portugues flute player Rão Kyao was invited to recreate “Vaishnav Jan to Tene Kahiye”, the tune Gandhi most listened to, and that has become the unofficial national anthem for that country, for the celebration of the 150 years since his birth. Prime minister Narendra Modi referenced and published the song on all his social networks. This invitation was the starting point for the new album of Rão Kyao who was born 1940 in Lisbon that combines his Portuguese roots with universality. Behold, the art of who started in the world of jazz, and launched himself onto the world, from the Orient to Africa, from Europe to the Americas, armed with flutes made from bamboo. An ambassador of Portuguese soul.
