Filipino jazz vocalist singing in 8 languages and dialects of her homeland. Explores the “Harana” a tradition of courtship expressed through music…usually men singing below a lady’s window. She has a warm, expressive voice and a sophisticated style. Good stuff. All slow and romantic, but with a fresh take. Might remind you of Hawaiian music at times. *1. Slow w/strings like an Italian folk song. Really pretty. 2. Soft, gentle strings and crystal-fragile vocals. *3. Light percussion, soft guitar, a warm swaying tune. Sweet. 4. A touch of Gamelan, vocals & percussion. Interesting. 5. Gentle touch of danzon w/an aching, romantic sway. *6. Vocal duet w/a hint of dark passion. Very well done. 7. Slow, tragic, almost Sephardic in a way. Good vocals. *8. A gentle, late-night serenade. Soft and warm. 9. Lots of drama, softened w/a warm, sweet arrangement. 10. A pledge of love w/emotive vocals & warm guitar. 11. Warm w/a relaxed sway & sweet melody. 12. English ballad, original tune. Not my favorite track. | ||
