Finally received the record three months after ordering it and after having Bandcamp help move things along. Great record, poor communication. Kikazaru 🙉

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
