Songs like these represent the foundation for our music, and their message and the culture in which we learned them has remained core to the values by which we live. Simply said, these songs represent our specific practice of long standing. This recording is dedicated to the memory of our parents, grandparents, and other family and friends who were so critical to establishing the traditions in our lives.
