“Vibrancy, color [is] something that both of us enjoy,” said flutist Rachel Woolf of her musical partnership with mallet instrumentalist Makana Jimbu, together called Duo Aya.
“Aya in Japanese means color, light,” Jimbu explained, as the duo prepared to perform in our studios at Texas Public Radio.
Woolf added their musical partnership also benefits from the two being great friends.
