    The pop elements apparent on Uyai are deployed imaginatively and effectively rather than as a means of demonstrating the group's impeccable taste. [May 2017, p.48]

    [A] melting-pot maelstrom. [May 2017, p.107]

    True to its name, Uyai is also a glorious, world-conscious party. Beautiful indeed.
