Jammin‘ in Myanmar and recording at ESUS5 Studio in Yangon was an exciting experience. And a song inspired by a new country experience is probably the most beautiful souvenir you can bring along from afar.

Short after my arrival im 2014 the monsoon season started. Inspired by the changing atmosphere I recorded soon after «The Monsoon Blues» at the ESUS Recording Studio in Yangon where I interviewed its owner Aron S. Read here more about this exciting music adventure and listen to the track:

In the Western world Myanmar, has gained popularity through the insisting endeavor of “Aung Sang Suu Kyi” to strive for the countries’ non-violent democratization. After 50 years of isolation the country opened up its boarders in 2012. Since then, a wave of modernization has been flooding the country boosting not only its economy but as well art, music and the entertainment industry.

When I got the chance to make recordings at the “ESUS5 Recording and Jamming Studio” I met with Aaron S., one of the studio owners, to learn from his experience and life within the vibrant and now fast growing music scene in Yangon.
