“Music doesn’t rely on language, religion or race. I completely believe in the power of music to connect people and keep their harmony. ”
Good morning Taka, that is absolutely beautiful and mesmerising. I was transported into another dimension as I listened to the instruments. Very calming and at the same time brings happiness and joy for me
Thank you.
