Enjoyed the music, but got the feeling that the vocals were too far back in the
mix. Also 'top end' seems weak - probably due to the mic placing etc.
Interesting venue, and i would think quite inspiring. I get the feeling that in
'Sunguruba' everyone was just totally chilled and having fun - possibly with
liquid assistance :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
