Bastián de Luka is a nomad, musician, director, storyteller who travels the planet aboard his Van, Polo, an all-terrain vehicle converted into a music and recording studio. He is the creator, actor and musician of the Tales of the Kosmic Monkey
In search of the sacred and ancestral legends, Bastián's journey begins on the forgotten roads of Utah in America, at the foot of the Arches, and wants to end in Central Africa, among the Aka, where it all began, in through Latin America, Asia and Central Europe.
Curious about everything and by nature, Bastian takes us to deserts, canyons, endless valleys, mountain ranges, tropical forests, to meet the elements, living spirits, coyotes and milky ways. On the road, come to him, reappear like treasures buried in time, beliefs, ancestral tales and legends, stories and philosophical thoughts that make us see everything differently...everything.
Bastián de Luka is a broker of ideas and concepts that keep us sane from fools, and invites us to rethink Nature and Life.
Bastián is the inner child in all of us. He is a bit like everyone, everywhere and nowhere. He believes in everything and he embodies peace, open to all realities and possibilities. He provokes spirits and builds bridges between all human beliefs.

Bastián
"Once you learn to discern the voice of Mother Culture humming in the background, telling her story over and over again to the people of your culture, you’ll never stop being conscious of it. Wherever you go for the rest of your life, you’ll be tempted to say to the people around you, “how can you listen to this stuff and not recognize it for what it is ? It's the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble. It's seeing all those sunsets that does it. You can't watch a sunset and then go off and set fire to your neighbor's tepee. Living close to nature is wonderful for your mental health." _ ISHMAEL, Daniel Quinn
