Description:
The CD booklet for A New Morning comes replete with a lengthy rant against the "'evil' capitalist appropriation of authentic cultural practices".

The CD booklet for A New Morning comes replete with a lengthy rant against the "'evil' capitalist appropriation of authentic cultural practices".
