Circles in a Square Society


Circles in a Square Society is the sixth album by the jazz/world music trio Boi Akih, released in 2012.
After extensive listening sessions with classic rock records and lengthy discussions about songs with a timeless quality, Brouer and Akihary decided to incorporate some of their favorite selections into an album that includes a musical commentary on the era from which the songs came.
