Animal sounds from Amazonia

Hello there,

while I was working on the next album release, trying desperately to identify as many species as possible from my recordings, using e.g. Xeno-Canto for bird identification, I thought it would be nice to compile a little audio playlist with animal sounds from the upcoming album for you to get an understanding of what you are listening to. I also added some more infos for most of the animals from Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy and I am looking forward to bringing the next album to you:
