However, I will admit to never being on top of the new age music scene. Fortunately, from time to time someone will reach out to me and make sure I listen to something. So, a big thank you to Windy for emailing me about this one!<\/p>\n<p>Today we&#8217;re looking at, or at least listening to, Michigan artist Chakuna Machi Asa&#8217;s new album Auroral Magic.  I&#8217;m not familiar with this artist, so do not as me if that is her actual name. She draws on her Nordic\/Scandinavian ancestry in her music, so um, yeah. Personal identifiers aside, Auroral Magicis a wonderful journey. I listened to the whole album on an overcast day with scattered storms and it fit that mood perfectly. Auroral Magicis atmospheric and cinematic. I guess what I am saying is that it would make an excellent soundtrack? Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;m trying to say. Chakuna Machi Asa blends piano, nature sounds, chants, and strings to create a magical album. At the end of the say, shouldn&#8217;t any new age album feel magical?<\/p>\n<p>You can listen\/watch the video for the title track here:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b1-kI3iKuAg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chakuna.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you enjoy The Magical Buffet?
