Wenten’s passion for teaching really shines, and you get a palpable sense of the connections he’s forged over decades. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the sights and sounds, which are beautifully presented. There's something special about the way it combines personal history with cultural exploration, making it distinct. Not just about music, it’s about shared experiences and the power of teaching, too. Just a really interesting watch for anyone curious about global art forms.
