Gwen Laster’s Keepers of the Flame hit me like a story I didn’t know I needed to hear. Rooted in African myth and brought to life with strings, rhythm, and soul, it feels both ancient and new. The interplay between groove and improvisation had me fully immersed—especially when the viola soared and Gwen’s violin gently took over. There’s something deeply personal and ancestral here, a musical journey that honors memory while pushing boundaries. It left me reflective, moved, and wanting to dive deeper into the full story behind it.
