Silk Route Bullets

After a year and more than 22,000 km riding around India, Mathieu Sauvaitre and Sylvain Liard are headed home to France on their Royal Enfield motorcycles via the fabled Silk Route. During this long trip back, their goal is to record and gather music performed by children from orphanages along with local artists.

“The vision of this project of is to record an album of traditional music following the Silk Route,” says Sylvain. “We’re going to reach France from India on our old Indian Royal Enfields and stop in each country of our itinerary to record with disadvantaged children. We record and shoot a video clip in different institutes like shelter houses, orphanages. Once back in France, the album will be produced and the benefits of the sales will be donated to each institute where we’ve been recording in.”

Their journey will cover India, Nepal, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and France.
