Jules Klassen this song is amazing. Live, it's a lovely Kenyan folk melody. This recording? the arrangement is deceptively simple, but oh, the sound! from the african lute played by Aaron to the nyatiti played by Walter Koga...it's so good. Don't miss the video on YouTube - a gorgeous piece.

about

A single from The Aaron English Band's 2016 Zodiac Project. Each song is represented in the album art as a "constellation" in a zodiac. The theme of the album revolves around the night sky, as well as human ideas that the night sky has represented for millenia: dreams, wishes, hope, discovery, the realm of the unknown.

Um kuru tili bare made

Kem luru do ketaa-lha
