From the fertile landscape of the Mediterranean rim comes this evocative, polyphonic offering of songs performed by one of the region's most stellar voices. Joining forces with the acclaimed Primavera en Salonico ensemble, she presents a mosaic of ethereal voice and rhythm frm the nearly-lost traditions of Greece, Tunisia, Sicily, Corsica, Albania, the Holy Land and more. Many languages and dialects are represented, as well as instrumentation: toumbeleki, bendir, kanonaki, daoul...an ethnomusicologist's dream. Several of these songs are ancient and sublime love songs to women.
