This CD features a wide array of musical styles, instruments and rhythms from all over the planet, but beyond the global grooves, the most special aspect of their sound is the singing.
Much is wordless vocalizing, also known as vocalese, and passages from languages around the globe — all of which add to the universality of the sound.
Another unique and powerful dimension to the vocal mix is the addition of children’s choirs from the United States, South Africa, India, China and the Republic of Georgia — all recorded on location. Instrumentation includes stringed instruments, keyboards, synths and samples.
