“It's not a strain on your vocal chords. But it's learning to use muscles in your throat you don't normally use. It's like learning to wiggle your ears.”
“You can totally assimilate in a culture and lose what you have. Or you can totally hold onto what you have and never let in grow. The best way is to continue, to listen to all the music around you but keep your own traditions. That way, the tradition never dies. It lives on.”
