African Dreams
Fall 2004 MusicReview:
Hypnotic, caressing, soothing...these songs speak to the listener in the
universal language of lullabies. The harmonies are gorgeous; the voices are
tender; the instruments are haunting. The double-cased packaging with its
Kente cloth design, embroidered African animals, and die-cut scalloped edges
is as handsome as the music. An accompanying booklet contains notes about
the performers, the languages and the origins of the songs as well as lyrics
and translations.
