HvG produced two world music CD with musicians from Tibet and Africa.
In 2000 he made his comeback with a new band and the album "foen".
The studio album "iwasig" was recorded after the tour and released 2002.

soon "Trad II" followed. Both feature original austrian folk songs.
The latest and biggest project is the "Linz Europe Tour 2007-2009".
Travelling on an adapted cargoship, fully equipped with a stage,
the journey went east first and then will head west.

The lyrics to Hubert Von Goisern's "Da Diab" speak to the desire for human connection and the need for companionship when things are tough. The singer expresses a desire to come to someone who he knows will talk to him, listen to him, and hold him when he needs it. He recognizes that life can be difficult, particularly when we are alone. Even when it is dark and the night is young, it is not the same as being with someone else, and the singer seeks this kind of connection.
As the song goes on, the singer expresses several times that he wants to feel loved and to have it returned. He wants the person he is singing to, likely a lover or romantic interest, to know that he wants her wholeheartedly and that he wants her now. The singer recognizes that life is fleeting and that we do not have eternity to get what we want. He emphasizes the need to take action and to live in the present moment so that we do not miss our chance.
Overall, the song speaks to the human need for companionship and love, particularly during difficult times. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing our desires and taking action to meet them, living in the present moment without wasting time or waiting for some distant future that may never come.
