Its 13 tracks include commissioned pieces by Cecile McLorin Salvant, Suzanne Kite, and Silkroad artist Wu Man, as well as new arrangements of songs by Rhiannon Giddens and fellow Silkroad artists Haruka Fujii, Maeve Gilchrist, and Mazz Swift. Rounding out the album are original compositions and arrangements by Silkroad artists Pura Fe, Sandeep Das, Niwel Tsumbu, and Kaoru Watanabe.
