If you are looking for a CD with a “lighter” sound, then run out and buy this CD! Andalin Bachman and Desert Wind have created one of the best CDs for dancers, music lovers, jazz enthusiasts, and dreamers of course!
This CD has 13 songs and is just over an hour of awe-inspiring music. There is almost everything on this CD: world beat dance music, rock, jazz and Middle Eastern tribal fusion, all enhanced by the exotically beautiful sound of Andalin’s flute. The songs on this CD feature Andalin on Miyazawa silver/gold/platinum flute while Alan and the rest of Desert Wind add the grand piano, mandolin, tablas, doumbeks, electric and acoutic bass, guitar and so much more! It makes for some of the best music by Desert wind yet.
An upbeat, “refreshing” holiday CD featuring rhythms from the Middle East! It was inspired in part by famed Bay Area drummer Rami Ziadeh, who is a Palestinian Christian, born near Bethlehem, on Christmas day! Desert Wind thanks Rami for joining in this project! Songs include:
Rabbi Léah Novick is a seasoned spiritual teacher whose study of Jewish mysticism has been focused on Shekhinah – the Divine Feminine. Reb Léah has served conventional synagogues and Renewal groups.
