Moments Worth Listening For
The guttural, earthy vibration of the didgeridoo cutting through the pristine Glass arpeggios in Australia.
The intricate, lightning-fast interplay between the sitar and the Philip Glass Ensemble in the India movement.
The way the Gambia track builds into a polyrhythmic fever dream of kora and percussion.
