These masters have created music that all of us can relate to, created by instruments that are not often played in an ensemble together. I found the music and the words on this album truly inspiring. Highly recommended.

Kuné have been together for several years, and Universal Echoes is an example of just how tight the ensemble has become. Not only are the song’s lyrics beautiful and intelligent, the music is an incredible mixture of sounds and rhythms. Somehow this melange of sounds and cultures from all over the world creates a language that speaks to all of us. In fact, one could say that Kuné’s performances are a living, breathing example of the spirit of Esperanto. This is an album of glorious music with an impactful message that will speak to people all over the world.

Universal Echoes is a testament to the power of a pluralistic vision of the future, in which innovative, cross-cultural responses come from a deep commitment to traditional culture and an openness to dialog and transformation.

Together, Kuné members compose, arrange and perform music that honors their cultural roots and creates connections with others through curiosity, experimentation and dialogue.

Kune [fuse] eleven musical traditions and twenty-five instruments into an ear-spinning confection of leaping melodies and luscious timbres.

Kuné is a musical journey that takes listeners on a trip around the world…

It doesn’t get any more multicultural than [Kune].
