Just imagine...

'I'here is only one starry night left till the end of this World... What would we do? Some would be despairing - hopelessly; Some would gather their riches to take them with them - full of hope; Some would pray to Clod - in (good) faith; Some would enter the hacharialia - to pleasure thernselves; Some would spend the last intimate moments with their nearest and dearest - in love; LaDaABa orchest offers you the perfect tour... for the very last night spent in this World !!! Forget about the despair, take your riches with you, just in case, let God come with you, if he feels up to it, Bachanalia implied, take your nearest and dearest with you...


LET'S DANCE IN HOPE, FAITH, PLEASURE, LOVE let us be HAPPY at least one (snore) time in life.
