Free Music Notes for Offerings
Free Music Review: spelndid combination of Middle Eastern and medieval European music
Hit: 5 Stars
This review is valid for all albums of VAS as well as the solo albums of Azam Ali. First her voice is really remarkable. It is calm and soft i.e. soothing, to express it with one word simply memorable. She has an astonishing broad pitch range and it is impressive how long she can hold a note. Second the percussion play of Greg Ellis adds a driving component to the music of VAS. All in all it is very beautiful music where you can lean back, close your eyes and hover away in dreams.
Offerings Poster
On Offerings, vocalist Azam Ali and percussionist Greg Ellis take one step beyond the repertoire of Indian-flavored, hymn-like songs created on their widely adored debut CD Sunyata. Again Ali radiantly sings soothing melodies of words in no language other than her own spontaneous emotion. A bit reminiscent of Madredeus's Teresa Salguiero, her tone is melancholic and soulful, but her chanting unrolls a Persian tapestry woven of her hammered dulcimer and Ellis's cadences on tabla, udu, frame drum, zils, and more. Guest artists Steve Stevens (nylon-string guitar), cellist Hans Christian, singer Omar Faruk Tekbilek, and violinist Nabil Azzam deepen the Middle Eastern hues. By the CD's end, listeners will understand why this inspired duo has named themselves the Farsi word for "vessel." --Karen KarleskiInternational Music CDs
