The drum solos on either of the "Hold" tracks are a thing to behold. Had to pick one though.

You don't even need to read the info to know they are singing of peace and love energy. this is such pure music -- not in a fetishization of ethnic music kinda way. it's so clear that this all resonates from a heart center. the recordings are raw and encapsulate sitting literally anywhere except a recording studio making music. love this to pieces.

Spending hours on One Night on Earth wasn't enough. My addiction to Derek's kora translations is too strong. I'm hooked. I'm happy.
