The concept album is a much-maligned thing – perhaps not unfairly, given the excesses of certain 70s prog-rockers. So the news that this Vermont-based singer-songwriter’s latest work is a folk
opera based on “the ancient Greek myth of the poet Orpheus” may provoke a few groans. Fear not! Although Hadestown isn’t without fault, it is, by and large, a success.
This is partly down to the amount of time and energy that has been lavished on it, as the beautifully designed CD sleeve suggests; so much for public arts funding. Hadestown began evolving in
2006 as a stage show, which Mitchell road-tested with a 22-member cast. She also recorded one of the songs on her 2007 album The Brightness. Originally called Hades & Persephone, and
performed solo by Mitchell, it’s here retitled How Long? and is a sung dialogue between Ani DiFranco (Persephone) and Greg Brown (Hades), with strings, piano and atmospheric percussion.
Mitchell’s sugar-coated, girlish vocals won’t appeal to all, and initially distract from her considerable talents as a lyricist (“The river Styx was a river of stones”), so the use of a
distinguished and well chosen cast to sing the various parts is a plus. And while Brown’s creaky baritone is another acquired taste, he does make a convincing Hades. The unmistakeable falsetto of
Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon (Orpheus), and Ben Knox Miller of The Low Anthem (Hermes) are definite assets, and even the usually annoying DiFranco is well cast as Persephone.
Like most operas, the plot is fairly opaque and more or less an empty vehicle for voices, so Mitchell’s mixing of contemporary and historical settings with one of the many original versions of
Orpheus isn’t a problem – there’s clearly a narrative, even if it isn’t easy to follow. It’s the fine and varied arrangements by Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, and Mitchell’s memorable
melodies that hold things together.
In a Vaudevillian manner, she plunders a wide array of idioms, ranging from traditional American folk (Wedding Song seems to draw on Mockingbird) through Tom Waits mannerisms, country, gospel,
jazz, chamber music, and the Penguin-Cafe-Orchestra-goes-to-India vibe of the instrumental Lover’s Desire. It all makes sense eventually. Kind of.

By Christina Roden from http://www.amazon.com
For this, her second solo album, Azam Ali, lead vocalist of Vas and Niyaz, takes her patented polycultural blend of ancient and contemporary influences even farther beyond the stratosphere. That
she is now a veteran of numerous film scores, including Children of Dune, Earthsea, and Matrix Revolutions, perhaps explains her present more cinematic direction. Born in Iran, reared in India
and the US, and gifted with a voice of improbable tonal breadth, flexibility, and beauty, she is backed by collaborators like Trey Gunn (King Crimson), Chris Venna (Nine Inch Nails), Turkish
DJ/composer Mercan Dede, the Japanese ensemble Kodo, and Grateful Dead drummer/world percussion enthusiast Mickey Hart. One of the more interesting conundrums inherent in Ali's work is that no
matter how much electronic technology she employs, her immersion in her heritage unfailingly comes across loud and clear. Whether she is singing in English, which predominates on these sessions,
Farsi, or another language, a prayerful sensuality informs every note. It's as though a sexy Tanagra temple figurine or silk-clad court lady from an antique parchment were to suddenly turn her
lovely head and step daintily into the modern world, unfurling precisely the kind of voice one expected but never could have imagined.
Product Description :
"Elysium For The Brave", Azam's second solo album, signals a new turn in her musical evolution. The album, her most ambitious work to date, brings together musicians from varied musical
backgrounds performing in diverse permutations. The result is a highly coherent body of work that seamlessly weaves together all of Azam's cultural and musical influences into a haunting tapestry
of atmospheric rock, electronic, and global sounds. Singing predominantly in English for the first time, the songs are based on lyrics written by Azam herself and reveal a poetic lyricism heard
only in glimpses in her previous work.

Notes from the artists:
Before the heart, there was time. Then the miracle occured. The heart came into being. With the command, the beat began. The first blow and the substance shakes with "Fuad" the inital moment of
life where movement is born. "Fuad" is power, sound and rhthym. The heart begins life zealously, beating fast... Speeds up, slows down; gets high, gets down. Desire, fear, love, joy, sorrow,
music, ecstacy, shock, fatigue/ attack, disease, halt and restart.
Then a signal to the substance, and comes the moment of ceasing... "Fuad". From the minute infinity to the magnanimous one, from nothing to being, "Fuad" commences the universe. There, neither
the first nor the last can be defined. Absolute being is the sole reality. Before the heart, the moment of the heart, after the heart; this is the question. There are moments when the heart is
broken, that's the instance that breaks "Fuad". The happiest moment of the heart is "Fuad", it sees, hears, touches, tastes, smells, loves, discerns, feels with "Fuad". And we think with
"Fuad".
The talents we have and the talents we can never discover are "Fuad". Logic is formed at the heart, and might be cruel or loving as granted. "Fuad" is in the service of matter/ whether human or
not, known or unknown, und whether will be discovered, be it living or non-living. Yearning for "Fuad" is a gift to the dreams of humanity.

The ensemble Da Cruz is a collaboration between vocalist Mariana Da Cruz (a Paulista with Bahian roots) and Swiss producer Ane H. Together with their band, they merge Brazilian music, Electro,
Afro Beat, Breakbeats, Ethiopian Grooves, Kuduro and other forms of dance music. Da Cruz stand for a modern, curious and proud Brazil , says Mariana. There are so many boring clich‚s about my
country. With my music I try to show that there is a Brazil far away from Carnival, bikinis and samba-plumes there is also an urban, progressive, open but still romantic Brazil with a sane
respect towards its traditions and culture. The new album Sistema Subversiva pushes the boundaries of Brazilian Fusion with harder, throbbing bass tones and punchy kick drums underlying Mariana's
dynamic lyrics, one moment soft and dripping, another punctuated and demanding. We both wanted to create something new without giving up all our past. Da Cruz is the result of this trying. Ane H
sums it up best when he says We wanted to make a danceable album. An album that is both funky and electronic. The music of Da Cruz is not sunny and nice and undisturbing. The African side is also
accentuated, much tougher than what we have done before. We wanted to show that there is a Brazil far from the postcard idyll- a modern, rebellious, open and urban Brazil. The album has many,
many facets.

'The album is a stimulating and soothing journey into an incongruous collaboration...
With Issa Bagayogo there's really no middle ground. Either you think his gravely voice, call-and-response female backing vocals, kamele ngoni strings and wild flute bursts go with French producer
Yves Wernerts electro-beats or you don't.
"Take Dya" for example. The track opens with a flute call so vital that you can almost see the lips upon the instrument, followed by the kamele ngoni, the raw vibration of the strings conjuring
up images of the calabash and skin instrument that hails from Issa's home of Mali. Then enters an array of synthesised beats and peeps so recognisable from the middle of the mainstream road that
my irritation buds are tickled almost to distraction. With his voice, the flute (a highlight throughout the album) and his playing of the kamele ngoni so strong, one has to ask, why?
Well, why not? In music, there's no sin greater than boring music and this album, a whopping fourteen tracks, at least challenges the listener and presents music from rural Mali in a new and
exciting, if not totally aesthetically pleasing to all ears, way. Issa Bagayogo comes from a farming family in southern Mali and discovered his love of the instruments that were available to him,
namely the kamele ngoni. After two unsuccessful recordings in Bamako, Mali's capital, at the same time training as a bus driver, there followed a period of alcoholism and desertion by his wife
(so the sleeve notes tell us). Issa became depressed. Then came producer Wernert and collaboration with a guitarist from Ali Farka Touré's band and the result was Afro-electric (personally, the
name alone creates a shudder). However, it was a great success and after two albums, Issa won an award that recognised him as Mali's brightest new hope. Afro-electric had worked.
The album is a stimulating and soothing journey into an incongruous collaboration that at times works very well. In "Nderi", Mama Sissoko's guitar solo, consistently strong throughout the album,
rises above Issa's poetry-like vocals, added to by an ethereal sound that might have leapt right off super-cool French band Air's Moon Safari. The final track comes as a wind-down, complete with
wave sounds and lullaby-like female cooings. The only thingleft for the listener then is to decide whether or not Techno-Issa, as he is affectionately known by his fans at home, is your cup of
tea.

Japanese Salsera: Born to sing salsa!
Hailing from Osaka, Japan, Yoko was born to sing salsa.
Yoko’s singing career began at the age of fifteen when she fronted a local rock band in Osaka. While attending the Kyoto University of Foreign Language, Yoko majored in Spanish language studies,
which provided her with an excellent foundation in Spanish. Around the same time, Yoko discovered the music of salsa and she was immediately hooked. She wanted to learn more about the musical
genre of salsa, but she was unsure if it even existed in Japan.
As a part-time job, Yoko started singing at local jazz clubs, and it didn't take long before her great talent was discovered In 1996 she was asked to join the salsa band ‘Conjunto Mamborama’ as a
vocalist. They performed regularly at a salsa club in Osaka called Pata Pata De La Salsa. With her big voice and powerful lungs, singing in a large club like Pata Pata was a great opportunity for
Yoko. At that point she completely abandoned her career as a jazz singer. Word of her talent got out among musicians in Japan, and she was invited to sing as the main vocalist for ‘Las
Estrellas’, a salsa band formed by the former members of the famous Japanese salsa band "Orquesta De la Luz".
In 1997, she moved to the United States and started performing with local band and her own group. In 2004 she was invited to perform in Japan with Herman Olivera, a prestigious figure within the
New York salsa scene who is currently the lead singer of the Eddie Palmieri Orchestra.
In 2006, Yoko found a great production team, who believe strongly in her talent and potential. Mr. Willie Ruiz, Yoko’s musical director, comments that, “if you don’t see her in person, you’d
never know if it was a Japanese or an Hispanic woman singing."
After her debut with Chino Nunez and Friends at the New York Salsa Congress in 2006, she became a lead singer of the band and sang a duet with international salsa star Ray Sepulveda “Hoy les
cantamos” on Chino’s 2nd album “Dr. Salsa”. This became an international hit topping the chart in Pamana. The song was also featured on XM Caliente in April 2008. In January 2008 she made a trip
to Greece in 2008 with Chino. This Japanese salsera is ready to sing out her fantastic music for all the world to hear!

created alongside Massive Attack and Portishead and on solo albums like Maxinquaye and Pre-Millennium Tension, down to a lean, sinewy hybrid of hip-hop, rock, dubstep and new wave, all intercut
with heady, atmoshperic vocals from singers Tiki Lewis and Kassia Conway. Recorded between Los Angeles and Paris, IAMOMNI also features Japan's premier emcee Shingo2, and Suffa from Australia's
