Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Really unique and a Great Value Comment: Track one and two are out of this world. Mesmerizing and energetic. The many page magazine-like book alone is worth more than the cost of this CD used.
If you like unique world music with extensive notes on how the music was produced and why, you will love this CD.
