A lot has been happened since their debut album "Northern Winds" (Blanco y Negro) in 2001. Two more albums are on the market "All you left us"(Blanco y Negro 2005) and "Positivity" (Blanco y Negro 2008), and a fourth one now is beeing prepared. Their music has been included in more than 30 internacional compilation CD's such as "Café del Mar", "Hed Kandi-Winterchill" or "Chillout Sessions" among others. The music of Almadrava can be found all over the globe.
The head of the group forms Patricia Leidig. Patricia was born in Valencia (Spain) but when she was 3, her parents moved back to Germany. She started making music when she was 3 and half years old. At the age of 6 she entered the JOC-development-program of Yamaha for young talents in Germany, and within 10 years of seminars and intensive music-courses she got to participate in various Yamaha JOC-Concerts, especially in Japan in the year 1987 at the age of 11.
Patricia recorded her first single "When We Fly Away" when she was 19, under the label of Mons Records. During the filming of the video clip, she met Pedro Toro, a video director, and together they got to work in several recording projects, especially soundtracks for television and documentaries, developing a special talent in the creation of ambiances.
Later on, a proposal of César Lorés, from Blanco y Negro Music (Spain), brings them to write several ambient songs, that finally will become Almadrava's first album (Blanco y Negro 2002). Combining classic instruments with synthesizers, tradition with modernity, the beautiful with the strange, Almadrava brings the listener to a "Chill out" world, where every single song is important...
Almadrava has also been doing several Chill out remixes for different artists like Transfer, Jask, Information Society, Tukan, M-Black, Sunblind and De-Nuit.
Patricia and Pedro are also the authors of the first musical of the air, "Dreamings". The musical was presented in November 2002, in the circuit of Motegi - Japan, with an attendance of over 55.000 spectators.
Find You
Almadrava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't find you.
So here I am driving through the rain
and I don't know where to go.
I'm sorry, I was so wrong.
I know it since you are gone.
Please forget your pride,
IF ONLY I COULD FIND YOU
I'D GIVE YOU MY LIFE AGAIN.
IF ONLY I COULD FIND YOU,
DON'T LIE TO ME,
I KNOW YOU STILL LOVE ME,
AND I DIE WITHOUT YOU.
Another night will end up the same way.
Where could you be now.
A silly error would become a huge mistake,
if I never see you again.
I'm sorry, I was so wrong.
I know it since you are gone.
Please forget your pride,
Don't try to hide your love.
IF ONLY I COULD FIND YOU...
The lyrics to Almadrava's song "Find You" are a heart-wrenching plea to a lost love. The singer is driving through the rain, searching "nearly everywhere" for their lost love, but unable to find them. The first verse is filled with a sense of desperation and confusion, as the singer doesn't know where to go or what to do.
In the chorus, the singer makes a bold declaration that if they could only find their love, they would give their life again. They implore their love to be honest with them and confess that they still love them, as the singer feels they will die without them.
The second verse continues the theme of desperation, as the singer wonders where their love could be and fears that a "silly error" could turn into a permanent mistake if they never see each other again. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the intensity of the singer's desire to find their love and start anew.
Overall, this song is a moving expression of the pain of lost love and the yearning for a second chance.
