This mult-cultural collective, led by Israeli keyboardist/singer/ composer Raichel delivers a creatively unpredicatble release full of emotion and strong performance. Sung in a multitude of languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Swahili, and Spanish. Great guest stars.

*1. Soft, sexy female vocals, gentle perc, beautifully dreamy. Sigh…
2. Slow & lush w/strings, gentle male vocals in a soft reflection.
3. Midtempo & folksy w/a sweet melody & lightly sweeping air.
*4. Soft guitar, sounds of water, beautiful fem vox. Slow & liquid.
*5. Midtempo world folk w/a head-nodding beat and quiet hipness.
*6. Husky fem vox, soulful, relaxed Cape Verde Creole. Oh yum!
7. Sweet & lazy with warm fem vox and a Night at the Bazaar feel.
8. Upbeat & driving w/a world rock sound.
*9. Slow & tragic modernArabic ballad. Cool vocals, but so sad.
*10. Downtempo w/crystal-lovely female vox in Spanish. Gorgeous.
11. Slow & dreamy w/a hint of sad resignation.
12. Rich & creamy male vox, slow, lyrical, and warm.
*13. Beautiful fem vox, slow, rich strings. Heartbreaking, powerful.
