Critics and fans have long acknowledged Sheila Chandra as a pioneer in world music -- from her legendary work with Monsoon through her bold experiments with lyricless tones and textures, vocal percussion, and minimalist solo voice and drone. This retrospective showcases the extraordinary voice and innovative scope of this imaginative vocalist, with excerpts from her albums Abonecronedrone, Weaving My Ancestors' Voices, and The Zen Kiss plus 2 previously unreleased tracks. She seamlessly weaves vocal styles of India, the Arab world, Andalucia, Ireland and such ancient structures as Gregorian plainsong.
