So THAT is what the rainy season looks like. I hope you have your flippers! The music was enjoyable. Is that Malian tribal/choral music?
Love it. Love you, Ma
it's truely amazing how dramatically the landscape changes when the rains arrive. the music is by a brooklyn based singer and songwriter that goes by phosphorescent. i found it fitting.
