A beautiful review of Tanya Ekanayaka’s latest album ‘16 Sri Lankan Piano Isles’...

"…the approach on this record is so unique and unusual that I had no anchor to hold on to. The advantage of this, however, is that I could listen and hear without having to compare and place. Purely the music of the moment, in other words.

Very special, but above all, incredibly beautiful! " - Dani Heyvaert, RootsTime, August Issue
