This review is from: Umoja (Audio CD)

A beautifully produced rock/folk album with bilingual vocals, alternating between the band's fantastic lead singer Paskal Jakobsen and guest vocals by artists from Spain, Brazil, Japan, Ireland, India, etc., including a song recorded in New York with Adam Duritz and Counting Crows. I love Paskal's voice, his phrasing. He is so unique in his delivery, the perfect blend of classic and modern styles. The lyrics are wistful, powerful, evocative. Obviously few people in the world can understand all the words in this album, in a dozen languages, and there are only about 30 million Dutch speakers in the world. Everyone can enjoy their music though.
