At the heart of this incredible musical movement is the ethos of ‘each one, teach one’, with each generation sharing their time and supporting the musicians that follow in their footsteps. The creative results are nothing short of inspiring and intoxicating, as witnessed in the new Tomorrow’s Warriors album, I Am Warrior.
