Volunteers for the cause came from all over the world, as do the artists on this collection. From Ireland, the US, Mexico, Nicaragua, Spain. Acoustic-based, in both English & Spanish, songs about bravery, longing for home, pain & loss. It’s a powerful collection, heavy on the tragedy and very emotional. Great notes too. Play it all.
1. Spoken word, English lyrics to tune of “Red River Valley.”
2. Beautiful fem vox, flute, guitar, palmas. Mid-tempo.
3. Male vox, Celtic-ish folk anthem w/very nice strings.
4. Downtempo duet w/a sad, lovely melody. Full of longing.
5. Powerful mid-tempo & emotional w/fem vox/flute/strings.
