Mary Ann Kennedy with tracks from across the globe, and a studio session with Indonesian band the Sambasunda Quintet. Their ethereal sound is created by three 'kecapi', the Javan boat-shaped zither, and the voice of Rita Tila.

Led by composer and kecapi player Ismet Ruchimat, the Sambasunda Quintet perform pieces rooted in the classical Sundanese tradition, with rhythmic influences from local urban popular music. There are also influences from further afield: one piece brings in elements of Irish folk with the title 'Paddy Pergi Ke Bandung' (Paddy goes to Bandung).
