When we first met, we shared a dream. We decided that one day we would like to do a comprehensive study of the most powerful ceremonies that occurred across the African continent, spanning the life cycle from birth to death.

And we've been working toward that for the last ten years in order to prepare our double-volume book.

We would like to maintain this beautiful music.
