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.

Almadrava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me the way you wish to share your time
Tell me the way you are, and more,
all what you want to be
Tell me the way you feel about me beside
Tell me the way you think about love,
when different worlds collide
I give you all my heart and close my eyes
Shoop da doop...
Show me the way you smile when things go wrong
If any time you're weak I'll make you strong
(yes I'll be strong for you)
Show me the way you stand so close to me
oh promise me you'll never walk away
Show me the way you kiss, so soft, so deep
And the way you touch me with your skin
(and tell me what you wish)
Show me the way you love, you care, you give
I really need to feel you night and day
Life goes on, one way we walk,
Life goes on, on and on
Remember the way we were when dreams were gold
Remember the way we used to fight the cold
(and more can you)
Remember the way we broke the walls with love
No storm could ever stop us taking off
Can you see the way we changed from lovers to friends
What matters is the direction, not the end
(I don't want to see the end)
Remember the way we walked, so long
But now the past is gone and life goes on
Shoop da doop...
The lyrics of "The Way" by Almadrava are all about communication and understanding between two people who are in love. The song starts with the singer asking their partner to tell them how they want to live their life, share their time, and all that they want to be. The singer wants to understand their partner on a deeper level and know how they feel about each other, especially when different worlds collide. The singer then asks their partner to show them how they react when things go wrong, and they promise to be strong for their partner when they are weak.
After that, the singer asks their partner to show them how they kiss, how they touch, how they love and care, and all they need is to feel their partner's presence all the time. The chorus of the song talks about how life goes on, and they walk their separate ways. The singer then recalls the way they used to be when they were in love, how they fought the cold, and broke the walls with love to take off on a new journey together. However, now, they have changed from lovers to friends, and the singer doesn't want their relationship to come to an end, but they still want to be a part of their partner's life.

"Tell me the way you want to live your life" - simple
"Tell me the way you wish to share your time" - Show me your world. I promise you, I would experience most of it for the first time. Filled with a long range of emotions. I would prefer mostly joy.
"Tell me the way you are, and more" - Something like that has to be experienced and not described. Subjective perceptions.
"All what you want to be" - Um ... just I. As always.
"Tell me the way you feel about me beside" - As a current projection. I always felt very comfortable. I enjoyed it.
"Tell me the way you think about love" - Phew ... I want you to know that I make quite a few gradations. So dedication would be a little too exaggerated, but you should have noticed that by now.
"When different worlds collide" - Oh ... I'm usually pretty relaxed about that. I like style breaks. Wouldn't be the first time anyway.
"Tell me the way you are before" - A guy next door. Do you know your neighbors?
"I give you all my heart and close my eyes" - Wait a moment. Always calm ... don't be too hasty. You know my quirks.
"Shoop da doop..." - She did it. Oh man, always this pressure of responsibility. You shouldn't expect anything.
"Show me the way you smile when things go wrong" - LOL. Just a stupid face. Sometimes the same snout as when thinking.
"If any time you're weak I'll make you strong" - Would be nice! You can see for yourself and pull a little. Where do you want to go?
"(yes I'll be strong for you)" - Hope this.
"Show me the way you stand so close to me" - What is keeping me here? Well, you are the reason. There was always only one reason. You.
"Oh promise me you'll never walk away" - Won't happen to me anymore I already have this experience. Not a great feeling.
"Show me the way you kiss, so soft, so deep" - Uiuiui.
"And the way you touch me with your skin" - rrrrrrrrr <-- can´t rolling the R
"(and tell me what you wish)" - more experience
"Show me the way you love, you care, you give" - Christopher Johnson McGCandless "Happiness is only real if you share it!"
"I really need to feel you night and day" - But please also with the possibility of retreating in very private (alone) moments.
"Life goes on, one way we walk" - Yapp.
"Life goes on, on and on" - Yapp.
"Remember the way we were when dreams were gold" - Daily.
"Remember the way we used to fight the cold" - That was a fight? Didn't even feel like training to me.
"(and more can you)" - Where do you want to get that from? What do you see in me? What if I don't meet your requirements?
"Remember the way we broke the walls with love" - It was so easy. Has somehow become independent.
"No storm could ever stop us taking off" - All just mild breezes. The storms were before your time.
"Can you see the way we changed from lovers to friends" - Sure. Guess why Friendship Plus now exists? Hehe.
"What matters is the direction, not the end" - Thats true.
"(I don't want to see the end)" - I also don't feel like it.
"Remember the way we walked, so long" - Daily.
"But now the past is gone and life goes on" - Daily.
"Shoop da doop..." - As simple as that.
