It was at The College of Santa Fe where these artists got their first taste of Central European vocal traditions, and since then they have dug both deep and broad to find new regions and languages to add to their spellbinding repertoire. This visit to KUNM finds the quartet performing songs from their 2024 album "Beneath Roses" and discussing the unique power of this music with DJ Leah.
