You don't even need to read the info to know they are singing of peace and love energy. this is such pure music -- not in a fetishization of ethnic music kinda way. it's so clear that this all resonates from a heart center. the recordings are raw and encapsulate sitting literally anywhere except a recording studio making music. love this to pieces.

Surely if there had been the InterWeb back then these could have been bigger hits and now less obscure. It certainly ain't "Pat Boone in his white tux" or the other bland WASP acts favoured by dominant record labels of the time.
