Not to bring controversy to a beautiful piece of music - but - it is worth noting that the simplicity of the tribal belief is "mother" Earth. Think of seeing creation bloom and wane in all it's beauty. It doesn't take a far stretch of the imagination to see the symbolism of a mother vs a father. Does "father" come out in their beliefs.
Might need to ask this on another thread.
Beautiful, peaceful, and meditative. Thanks for sharing.
