The international community ASFAM (Family Asociated) with more than 8 million members voted on first place worldrocking LUCKY SAINT LUIS for outstanding tasteful music fusions between the cultures and for environment and human aid related poetry.
The german born composer and musician is joined by known dutch and colombian musicians and a exotic dance squad never before seen in such environment of musics.
Grammy award Gatewaymastering in Portland, US is going to mix the current CD "Made by hand in Colombia" and mayor music industries showing interest in a rebel who for 30 years refused comercial deal around art and message. Even more active in environment, human aid and evolution of the stucked development of democracies LSL never wanted to sit in line with the hops and flopps of popular fashion lists but to pin out that artists of any category are not limited to such non-human treatment of fashion makers.
There is no point in asking who came first but without doubt is Lucky Saint Luis to be considered father of world rock music due to a number of musical facts not met by others trying to open the gate to the term of rock and often completely missused.
Born in a small village close to Köln (Hennef), Germany, LSL was mentioned in press already in 1976, disappeared 1980 in his responsabilities as a student and other labour works and came back to music in 1988. Living in Spain by than he played with his natural nickname "Grischa" in a number of bands on Ibiza Island and on the spanish mainland, went to Asia and to Southamerica and increased his musical knowledge by living with all those folks during long term stay.
The list of famouse musicians LSL played with is endless long but only in live events where true skills are needed. He understands himselve more a live performer than a studio artist but there is no objection to be both.
The youngster do love him as much as the elder ones because he delivers hope and positivity by new means and even classified media returns many times to this overall educated artist risking his live against corruption in Colombia and suporting whenever possible NGOs in their labour for a better world.
The criteria of the ASFAM award took on account as much profesional play and message as also entertaining fun and choosed from 3000 groups and artists of international standing Lucky Saint Luis the representative artist and spokesman of the NGOs worldwide. Artists like Santana, Manolo Garcia, Mana, Carlos Vives, Black Eyed Peas, etc have been considered and disclosed for different reasons but mainly because of either musical limits or because of limits in message.
World get ready, LUCKY SAINT LUIS is coming like Dire Straits or like Steve Ray Vaughn did, coming out the blue for many and will remain as the remarkable personality he is.
