4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as A Circle Is Cast, but still great, April 12, 2001

I've loved Libana for years, and their chill-inducing harmonies only get better with time. I personally prefer A Circle Is Cast because I like the material better (maybe because I've lived with it for so long), but this CD is once again a beautiful collection of folk songs from throughout the world with high recording quality and interesting musical arrangements. My one real complaint, which is why I can't give it 5 stars, is the usual lack of lyrics with the liner notes or any translations of foreign languages. My favorite song on the album is Oh Mama Bakudala, but I have no idea what the words mean, and since it's sung in Xhosa (an African language), I don't think I'll be finding out any time soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Group singing, May 13, 2004

I started listening to this album a few years ago when I was a North American living in South America. My South American friends were wildly enthusiastic about this music -- as are my new friends in the U.S. The rhythms are simple, but interesting. There is also a songbook that can be purchased separately if you and your friends would like to sing these rounds together. I've found this music creates a very good group energy. My favorite cuts are Yemaya and Bim Bam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Passage, March 20, 2001

Wow, what a sound. Every time I play Night Passage for my friends the room grows silent, and the music draws us into a deep embrace. The songs on this CD are performed with expert musicianship and artistry. Listen and you too will find a "deep peace". Healing, transformative, and endlessly beautiful.
