I want to thank Kamera, Wichi and Emir who worked on three records we did, they brought their A game, these songs have been in making for quite some time so it’s fantastic to hear the final product. Ma E was very hands on and involved in every aspect of this album and we at Anashe are honored to have been able to assist him with his vision.”
