Latakia, the city in Syria, close to Turkey border, when I was 21 years young on Dec. 1972, I was traveling from Istanbul to Allepo and to Beirut via this city "Latakia". That time, it was very peace and no conflict so it is very safty to travel but now it is impossible. I composed this song for my good memory in 1972. https://soundcloud.com/mario-takahashi/latakiaPhoto is not Latakia, it is Asian highway in Afghanistan from Iran border to Khandahar. A: ENYA.STY B: NEWPORT.STY Whisper: Shevannai http://www.bestservice.de/en/shevannai.htmlMix: Cubase 7

That journey sounds amazing, Mario. The cover for Latakia is also very beautiful. This is a gorgeous track - I love the Shevannai whispers. The whole song has a very pretty, melancholy feel -- perfect for memories of a trip long ago!

Another very interesting performance and production.
Musically, quite rewarding.

Hello, Mario
As Greg said, like your other works, this has a very beautiful, ethereal quality!
Whispers are very effective in creating a mood.
The modulation before ending is so good.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.
