Lack of notable coverage. From analyzing the sources, they are either passing mentions of the group and don't cover the group in depth(Wachs' obituary, the NYT source) or they are primary sources(Rootsworld is an interview, one of the sources is just a video of their concert, and Marini's book, as far as I can tell, contains an interview with Wachs as coverage of the group.) I also found no independent/third-party and notable sources that could be used to improve the page.Jaguarnik (talk) 02:08, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The group disbanded after Wachs died, so there isn't a whole lot of new news. I will see if I can find updates that are relevant. They have a dozen albums on an established record label, which is way above the notability criteria for a band. Their work is also significant from an ethnomusicology point of view. Behind each album is significant historical research, which involved travel all over the world to find historical records. Asbruckman (talk) 13:52, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added an additional cite to comments by an ethnomusicologist about the archival research that supports their music. Does that help at all? Asbruckman (talk) 21:48, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
