Very nice...is this traditional or an eclectic mix? Either way, looking forward to the live performance. Great job (as usual) one and all!

Over the last decade, the members of the Black Bear Moon Rhythm Ensemble, based in New Hampshire, USA, have dedicated ourselves to studying and performing the traditional music of West Africa, primarily as a means of celebrating culture and diversity and (hopefully!) enriching our own communities...
