"Every person who I have introduced to this music has loved it. They are hard to describe, which is always a sign of a great and original band. They include include four distinct and original voices each of who are capable of fronting their own band. The way they blend the backing vocals supercharge each song. Sometimes their voices are used to create rythms as in Butterfly Woman and sometimes they use traditional oohs and aahs. Instruments are used sparingly but to great effect. Sacha, the one male in the group, is a wonderful musician who uses instruments such as drums and a gourd to great effect.



They are also great live. I have seen them three times at the Strawberry Music Festival (counting a late night cafe show) and they gave amazing perfomances. In my many years attending Strawberry, they are the first band that ever was brought back the next year due to audience requests.
