A remarkable release of rare beauty traversing genes with the outstanding voice, guitar, other strings and more by the New York-based folk singer, composer, and musicologist richly mixing traditions of her Venezuelan, Moroccan and North American heritage. The album soars and glides deliciously from one track to the next, from When The Whirlwind Fades Out to Tres Bocio, the extraordinary Locusts Circumference to one of many further standouts, particularly Gold & God or Grayscale, the twittering flute on Spiral Solutions, the intimate Cosmos or In Your Arms, Familiar, every track a piece of transcendent magic. Addition instruments include piano, percussion, hulusi and kanun, with a superb group of musicians to embellish Elhajli’s guitar and vocals. A real contender from album of the year. Out on Numina Records.
