Listening to this music, I feel my soul being massaged.
This piece is entitled “Estuary”:
where fresh and salt waters meet and mingle; where the river reunites with the ocean. From the smallest streams to the oceans, everything is interconnected and intertwined, like our destinies, our actions, and our stories.
(My thanks to the group Constantinople, with Kiya Tabassian on sétar, Ablaye Cissoko on kora, and Patrick Graham on percussion.)
