Weaving My Ancestors' Voices

by Sheila Chandra

supported by

Jim Buntinx Totally mesmerized by Ms Chandra's music and voice. The thrill is travelling throughout my body and soul like a twittering bird in the weaving trees. Quite magical and very welcoming in these doubtful times. Deepest gratitude towards Ms Chandra. Favorite track: The Enchantment.
