Ana Rute and Tiago Rouxinol spent many years traveling and exploring the world.

Their passion for music and dance brought them to different tribes and cultures around the globe.

For ten years the famous ecovillage Auroville in India was their base of living. There they formed the band Yemadas, which

for them means "a group of nomadic people with a positive spirit and a lot of joy to share."

When their son was born, they felt the call to return to their roots in Portugal.

Together with friends they found their "promised land" in a remote valley and are now guardians of one of the last remaining native forests in this area.

We had the honor to be their guests for two weeks in which this podcast was recorded :)
