ULTAN KAI continues to walk the path of his ancestors. This composition is dedicated to the settlement of Nelkan, a sacred place for the artist that reminds him of the people close to his heart.
Nelkan is ancestral land, an important place where his relatives live. Today it is a closed trading outpost, with planes arriving only once a month. This track is a tribute to Nelkan — a new breath in its culture.
The cover artwork features instruments and ornaments that hold deep meaning for the artist. At the center is a jaw harp that is over 12 years old. Below is a bass jaw harp that he still plays today, and above is a medallion gifted by his grandmother — a symbol of memory, family, and lineage.
