Thoughts and Reflections

This was such an incredible experience. He was wonderfully kind and accomodating. He was eager to share about his instruments and was very caring of me and his workers. 

I went in to find out more about this instrument, and he was enthusiastic about sharing with me. With my tour guide, we travelled outside the city to find him. I am thankful to Jean for organizing the trip and translating.

The Chakhe player, Foam, was also so helpful in giving me information too. I am thankful to her help.
