5.0 out of 5 stars A powerfully moving musical statement of Iroquois harmony, February 22, 2000

By 

Edward J. Insinger - See all my reviews

This review is from: Life Blood (Audio CD)

The blend of piano, synthesizers, guitars and flute flow seamlessly with the voice of Joanne Shenandoah, to create a masterpiece. Her vocals and delivery are impeccably joined to Peter Kater's musical genius on this CD. Path of Beauty is an Iroquous "women's song" and Joanne sings it with an emotional-filled heart, spirit and voice. The accompanyment by Peter Kater is masterful. Woman's Dance is traditionally sung and danced to for many hours. I find myself listening over and over. Each time, a new facet of its beauty is revealed to me. Dance of the North is hauntingly beautiful and encompasses both body and spirit. The Iroquois tradition of singing for a departed loved one is compelling and felt through the music and vocals. These selections represent the finest musical presentation I have experienced by Joanne Shenandoah.

5.0 out of 5 stars a breath of life, a nurturing to the soul, a memory, August 10, 1999

I am Haudenosaunee, Seneca, living away from my relatives. I love all music of the People but to hear the music of my own ancestors brings me home. Thank you She Sings for helping me to keep in touch with all those who came before - truly, they speak through you.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWE-INSPIRING!!!! and SPIRITUALLY UPLIFTING!!!!, July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life Blood (Audio CD)

My first cd by Joanne Shenandoah was Matriarch. It was truly one of the best cd's I had ever heard. When I got my computer and found amazon.com I decided to look her music up and I was so excited. Life Blood is now my favorite cd of hers. There is such a spiritual quality in her work and I feel we are blessed to have such a beautiful person here on our blessed earth. Thank you so very much TEKYAWHAWHA. I wish you much kindness, love, and happiness.
