5.0 out of 5 stars Something to Experience!, August 18, 2004

By	Sara (Italy) - See all my reviews

I've got to know this CD about one month ago, and from that moment on, I've not stopped to listen at it! It's incredible how Oi Va Voi mix different styles into a music that is completely different from any other thing I've listened till now.
It's jazz, electronic, ethnic, klezmer played as a "whole music" that makes you go far away and greatly breath!

4.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, February 12, 2004

By	Norbert (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Pure by chance I got across this CD. What makes this CD special for me is the mix of music styles it has. A first glance you might think it is just another group playing World Music. But by the third number I just stopped what I was doing and sat down to really listen. And every day I still play some part of the CD.
Strangly enough my favorit number at this time is the last number on the CD (no 10). It's not really a song but spoken text surrounded by music. And oh, there is a hidden number on the CD as well, after the last track just wait a minute or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great News, December 24, 2005

By	Duckie - See all my reviews

I love listening to this CD, it has such a great mix of rhythm and cultures. People always ask about it. I am very excited to hear that Sophie Solomon is releasing a solo CD in January, that will be top of my list for the New Year.
