This biography was recommended to me without commentary, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Very enjoyable! As a mom, I appreciated his mentioning how hard he had to work to make music successfully as well as his passion for keeping up cultural traditions. He still currently works to support the next generation in musical dreams like he himself had. A thumbs up from me!
