Kaia CD Recording Fund!

Donation protected
Kaia friends and lovers of world music! We are starting on our new CD and would love to include you in the process. We have our usual blend of world music vocals and percussion from the raucous to the sublime. This will be our most ambitious album yet, with much more complex music, lots of body percussion, and even more areas of the world represented!

Creating a CD takes two stages: recording and mastering. We are asking for your help in recording so we can start laying down some boss tracks. When we record enough songs, we'll then do the mastering.

How can you help us bring transformative, rock 'em sock 'em music to the world? Please make a financial contribution and your money will go directly into the recording fund. If we exceed our fundraising goal, the extra will go into the mastering fund.

That's not all! We love you, and as in all love stories this is a two-way street. Make your contribution and get good juju in return!
