"The Sydney Morning Herald once referred to Mara! as “the Dom Perignon of (Australia’s) World Music Bands”, it was perhaps a touch premature, but this collaboration between the group and their Bulgarian-style choir certainly meets that appellation...an unqualified success with its feeling of fresh adventure, sumptuous singing and depth of musical experience." Folk Roots (UK) Dec 2012
