"La Esperanza," a key track from my album "Accident in Paradise," led to a video clip in 1993 that visualized more than just music – it conveyed a message. Filmed on Treasure Island in the Bahamas, this clip was unique, especially for its connection to dolphin conservation.
The lyrics of the song – "With a dolphin in the depths of the ocean, we dance through the universe, driven by hope" – inspired me to swim with dolphins that had been purchased for release. This moment, filmed underwater, became the core of the video clip and symbolized the unity between humanity and nature.
The experience in the Bahamas led to the "Save the Dolphins" benefit event in Munich, which I organized with Dr. Motte and Rick O'Barry. Thus, the video clip for "La Esperanza" was more than an artistic work; it was a symbol of environmental protection and the power of music to effect positive change.
I wish you all lovely Xmas days ❤️
