An album seven years in the making with contributions by four generations of legacy-bearers.
The most touching story of musical transmission infused with childhood innocence.
=====================
Traditional children’s songs learned from field surveys by the Taiwu Ancient Ballads Troupe and new children’s songs created by Gincu Kuvangasan make up the core of this album. Going outside the box of tradition, such contemporary elements as reggae beats, dance music, electronic music, and rap have been incorporated with the recorder, accordion, guitar, keyboard, percussion, and stringed instruments to create an array of incredible surprises. This album, the culmination of four generations of legacy, is sure to impress with its creativity in the use of child vocals and its cultural value and significance.
