Fai Baba, Long Tall Jefferson and Black Sea Dahu-bassist Paul Märki are Löwenzahnhonig, “dandelion honey” in English. And they have made an album, also called “Löwenzahnhonig”. It is out now via A tree in a Field/Inselgruppe. Fai Baba used to be fond of ferociously psychedelic guitar acrobatics. Now living in the countryside, he has turned […]

Fai Baba with new Album
Fai Baba aka Fabian Sigmund is a constant musical surprise package and one of the busiest musicians in Switzerland to boot.

Entitled “Sad & […]
