Title: One of the most beautiful "world music" albums ever...!
Review: A sensuous treat, with shimmering, insistent vocals, subtle percussion and deft, Western-flavored Pierre Bensusan-ish guitars. The lyrics come from the love poems of the North Indian poet mystic, Kabir (one of the most widely read poets in the world), sung in a compelling traditional keening which is both immediate and lulling; the music is based on the melodic improvisations of the Indian classical "alap." The percussive accompaniment from Glen Velez is completely sympathetic, and by and large this album avoids the New Agey meanderings of oher efforts by this same crowd. This is a deleriously dreamy album... one of my all-time favorites. (If I could give this eight stars...)
