So delightful to have this amazing man bring culture to my elementary music students. His songs, although without translation for the students, clearly express emotion and connection to his roots.Thank you for this inspiration.

that subtle, rolling purr at the end of some of his versus is extraordinary. His voice is stunning and pure.
