This international collective has connections with take a deep breath- Peru, the US, Switzerland and of course Vietnam.

Singer Rosemary sounds sometimes like a Billy Holiday, who is on a paddlesteamer with Tom Waits. It results in an adventure in sepia colors, on melodies which create the most wonderful country noir you will hear this weekend.
