Music CD The Seven Valleys by Stellamara
Stellamara - The Seven Valleys
Artist
Stellamara
Album Review
The Seven Valleys
Label: Hearts of Space
Genre: World Fusion
Origin: USA
Format: Music CD

Stellamara is a Bay Area band creating a world music of the imagination: filtered through eastern European refrains, spun in Persian grooves, blended in medieval modalities, and supercharged by San Franciscan world music sensibilities. All this is centered by the vocal incantations of Sonja Drakulich, who recalls singers like Vas's Azam Ali and Lumin's Irina Mikhailova. But while they sing in an imaginary supralingua, Drakulich sings real words. Much of Stellamara's music and lyrics are based on traditional melodies and sung in the original languages. It's been seven years since Stellamara's debut album, Star of the Sea, Stellamara continues their exotic fusion, like a global gypsy troupe lost in time.

Music CD Feast of Silence by Vas
Vas - Feast of Silence
Artist
Vas
Album Review
Feast of Silence
Label: Narada
Genre: World Fusion
Origin: USA
Format: Music CD
Wiki article

Vas' sound is forged deep in Middle Eastern and Indian percussion with singer Azam Ali. Born in Iran and raised in India, Ali's pristine voice is steeped in the traditions of those countries. Greg Ellis surrounds her with a global percussion orchestra of the imagination, mixing udu drums, frame drums, mridangam, dumbeks, and just about anything else from his global groove storeroom to create the throbbing rhythmic undertow of their music. His own "Moksha" for percussion, cellos, and bass is an epic, symphonic journey. Azam Ali sings in English for the first time on Feast of Silence, setting Longfellow's "The Reaper and the Flowers" and her own title track.
