"Retracing Steps is a profound journey through the ancestral lineage of composer Julian Tjon Sack Kie. He wrote the piece for a unique combination of instruments: kora (African harp), ngoni (a West African string instrument), harp and percussion. In addition, countertenor Arturo den Hartog – a champion of works by Black composers – joins pianist Ernst Munneke to perform songs from the Surinamese classical repertoire. Piano: Ernst Munneke"
