It Takes a Village - Zaska

Max Zaska explains: "It's a concept album about community that parallels the birth of my first child with the birth of this album and the people that I needed to make both happen." This community includes more than 25 artists on the album drawn from the very best of Irish new music, including Wyvern Lingo, Loah, BARQ and members of Little Green Cars, Gypsies on the Autobahn, Super Silly, Come On Live Long, Booka Brass Band, and a host of in-demand session players.
