Ambros, Constellation Libra,
- Kottendorf , Germany, October 61, he was born in a little idyllic town and makes his living in Oberhaid a suburbe of Bamberg, Germany.
Already in early youth developed Ambros very much deep feelings for the cultures of the North American natives what should determine his other way. However, we remain silent on the music - especially to his flute lessons at that time during his school hours, about that at this point rather. Only when the time had come for it and he met the right people, the talent might be born in him. It happened, when his long preserved childhood dream, a visit of the Black Hills, came true.

A little later he met at Crazy Horse Mountain the Northern Cheyenne flutist Joseph FireCrow. From the initial sympathy became fast a tender friendship which reached so far that Joseph adopted Ambros as brother. From now on other friendship developed, also to members of the people of the Lakota and Cheyenne, whose influence became apparent in the so resulted first album "The Spirit Within" .
With the following, the first "official" album "Through My Dreams", also came the first bigger appearances and the name recognition of the once unmusical boy from the small village Kottendorf started to grow.
On site appearances in "Native American Country " should also keep waiting no longer and thus he also performed at Kevin Costners "Tatanka" . Of the more often if it permits the time Ambros also appears in the supporting program of the Slight Shows "Auf den Spuren der Sioux" and "Der letzte Häuptling" and thus his songs become constantly more known, because they have become now also the steady component in the programs of Native American radio stations.
Thus SIO Steinberger on Ambros became attentive and got him in his project "Erde & Mensch --Gegen Gewalt und zurück zur Ursprünglichkeit."

The album "Long Journey Home" could be taken up in the other course by the support and cooperation of many Indian friends and artists, and at this point a big "Thank you" to all those which stood Ambros with this production aside. The preserved recognition the "Silver Arrow Award" of Spirit Wind Records should also be mentioned here.
One must not know the story, the deeply concealed and mysterious history to feel that this work has become something quite special.
Who Ambros knows personally, knows about his honest and deep attachment to the creator of life, however he is called. Deep spiritual feelings and life settings are expressed in his songs clearly and lend them thus the special.
Hopefully we don't have to wait that long on the Release of the next Album !

Epilogue
Songs like "Spring Time" still have not lost their attraction for many lovers of this music even years after their publication, when you imagine as on a springlike edge of a forest, a group of in a circle dancing young Cheyenne girls? Above them in the delicacy lightgreen leafy canopy, the about springtime exited singing birds? And in the background of the picturesque Teepee-village, the pipe smoking hunters of the people.
Or"He Sapa" ? - To glide together with the eagle out of the airy heights of the Black Hills, down to the plains, to observe a peaceful grazing herd of Buffalo from above, on the neverending expanses of the ocean of grass?
Because I was asked to work on the texts of this homepage, I take myself the freedom to say that there is, in any case, no comparable work for me , which comes up to"The Badlands". Whether in the background on a HP, or on various book readings with indigeneous theme, this title goes so deeply that no words can tell.
There's nothing more to say.
