Kati Burns is a true Eastern wanderer: she has performed with Sufi musicians and Baul fakirs across Pakistan and India — and even studied North-Asian throat-singing traditions. This album draws from those experiences, weaving them into original compositions.
The tracks feature a ritual chain-dance inspired by Hungarian painter Csontváry; a modern mother-daughter ceremonial rite; echoes of orthodox liturgical tones; women’s vocals carried by frame-drum beats; trance-inducing singing; contemporary storytelling — and fire-festival dances — all fused into a richly textured Eastern-Hungarian musical tapestry.
