A unique recording label set up by Swiss born Robert Trunz. The seeds for MELT 2000 were sown in September '93 in a mixed-race music bar in Durban KwaZulu Natal - James & Son. Brazilian percussionist, Airto Moreira, was playing his first ever gig in Africa with Flora Purim, guitarist José Neto and their band, Fourth World. After the show, Airto and Robert visited the bar to be greeted by the owner with wise and prophetic words: 'Nobody comes to South Africa without a mission'.
