Andreas Vollenweider - Dancing With The Lion

Dancing With The Lion (1989), fifth album, marked a change in the way Vollenweider produced his music. His previous albums featured a more or less fixed set of musicians, while Dancing With The Lion incorporated numerous guest appearances of musicians from all musical styles. For this album Vollenweider himself directed and produced two music videos, for which he was also heavily involved in writing the storylines, the choreography, and the design of sets and costumes. The album was followed by Book of Roses, released in 1991, which has a more symphonic sound than can be heard on the previous albums.
He received a World Music Award in Monaco in 1992 and performed at a benefit show for the child victims of the Chernobyl disaster on Moscow's Red Square.
