Its really hard to find a copy of Ulali CDs these days. Such a shame, since they are the best native american women vocalists out there.

It's amazing that in all life forms there exists a female entity and a male entity.

Equally important in their tasks, can't really have one without the other. Their should never be dominance over another, because that leads to unbalance.

More harmonies than I'm used to hearing in Native American music -- I like it!
