Backpackers project was created in early 2007, when Hokshila together with musician Linas Adomaitis were traveling through Central America, from Guatemala to Panama, all the way with their backpacks. Carrying guitar and violin with them, musicians were jamming just anywhere they stopped: beaches, villages, local bars, jungle and, of course, all the backpackers they were staying in. Their music was very much appreciated both by locals and other travelers, and so the record was released later on after returning home, getting 'Backpackers' name. Project was presented in the UK and got terrific response from the public.
