How can it be that we get touched by a song from cultural communities unfamiliar to us? Evidently there are resemblances, since everybody in this world is familiar with homesickness, longing for love, the feeling of sorrow, desolation and cheerfulness. Here, these universal feelings are expressed in seven traditional songs from as many countries by ®chestra, Mile Lukić, Peter Hengst and the Colourful City Choir.
