The human singing voice is a potent and sacred instrument. It has accompanied the most profound moments in human evolution. It brings dignity and ceremony to our rituals. It is the language of the heart.

Each village, tribe or country expresses itself in musical sounds based on the structures and forms of it's inherited traditions. These traditions share a relationship with the animate and inanimate landscape.

Each new generation contributes the music of its childhood, adolescence, love, pain, rebellion and inspiration to collective of song. Michael C. Smith
