Speaking the Mamma Tongue,
By
This review is from: Speaking the Mamma Tongue (Audio CD)
This is an incredibly beautiful arrangement of music and voices with such diverse influences of rhythms and melodies from the Latin, African, Native American, and Indian cultures. The talented musicians and singers blend so smoothly together. My favorites are "Face the Wind", "Oma Wani Yea", and "Vanya Don't Go Away" although each song is unique and beautiful in it's own respect. The more I listen to this C.D. the more I love it. This C.D. is a gem to have for any serious music collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars
something of high quality for everyone,
By Alice Forbes (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speaking the Mamma Tongue (Audio CD)
Having listened to and enjoyed this CD a lot recently, I have many favorite tracks -- for instance, "Face the wind" and "Oma wani yea" -- both of which feature the incandescent vocals of American Indian singer Pura Fe. And several tracks highlight McDowell's eloquent, moving and precise piano playing, especially "Vanya don't go away" and "Piano raga." Many things stand out about this CD -- the high quality of the collaborative instrumentalists and singers, the seamless production and the recording's eclectic nature. As cliché as it might sound, there is something for everyone, from dance grooves to meditative instrumentals to African and Latin rhythms and chants. I love it!
