The New Tantra

Tantra is a band from Portugal that made three albums in the years 1978-1981. Two of them have now CD releases on Musea, “Mistérios e maravilhas” (1977) and “Holocausto” (1979). After finding an old Revox tape of the first Tantra concert out of 1977 and working on this for an CD release, Manuel Cardoso fell in love again with the musical concept of Tantra and asked the old band members if they where interested in reforming the band. But nobody could make it so Manuel decided to search for other musicians to form a new Tantra with the same musical spirit. The band which was born, rehearsed every weekend for 8 to 12 hours in the years 1998-2000. But the band had no easy path to follow which eventually led to their first CD in this line-up. And it would cost almost two years before they had finally recorded this album…
