What’s Going On is a powerful song motivated by the social and political turbulence of the late 60s in the United States. Sadly, this message of protest remains as relevant today as when it was written. We recorded this in our stripped-down, two-voice fashion, to bring you the raw honesty of the message.

My brother accidently noticed your exceptional sound of your band on the radio and thought it might interest me. And in fact, I was blown away by the uniqueness of the collective sound of the band as well as the beautiful sound individually of the singer's voice, the bass player and the tabla player! It was the find of the year for me, really amazed by the beauty of this music! Thank you so much! pavelsolodovnikov

Whether you take up the deep, reflective traditional songs with the charming ones and allow them to co-exist on the same album or allow them to stand separate is one's own choice, but I invite anyone reading this to experience everything with ears open and you'll surely enjoy what technical prowess and an infinitely open mind can do for music these days. Thanks to everyone who worked on these recordings; you've at least made a difference in my life, and hopefully in many others to come! Travis
