About the Artist
AMASONG is Champaign-Urbana's premier lesbian/feminist chorus. Founded in 1991 by Kristina Boerger, the group has grown from 16 to as many as 60 singers. The group is the subject of a documentary film "The AMASONG Chorus: Singing Out" by Jay Rosenstein, which was broadcast nationally on PBS on the 'Independent Lens' series in June 2004.

"AMASONG is dedicated to the pursuit of choral excellence within an atmosphere that celebrates all forms of women's devotion to women. To make music in this spirit is for us a deliberate act of cultural expression. With beauty as the ultimate critereon, we will sing music from any source. Our emphasis on folkloric music allows us to honor and participate in the cultural expressions of many people from around the world. With the goal of teaching women to sing compellingly together, AMASONG is adamant about remaining open to women at varying levels of experience and ability. The choir includes music professionals, seasoned amateurs, and beginners with no previous choral training. Every woman is welcome to audition for AMASONG."

Product Description
50 women's voices sing music from 14 countries in 11 languages. Selections include chant by Hildegard von Bingen, spirituals from the United States and the Bahamas, and Lewis Allan's "Strange Fruit," made famous by Billie Holiday and heard here in a stirring arrangement for a cappella choir. Winner of the 1998 GLAMA Award for "Best Choral Group."

    4 out of 5 stars Amasong's First CD.......2006-11-10

    I'm nothing like a professional music reviewer.

    I first discovered Amasong while living in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. I volunteered at WEFT as a substitute airshifter. Primarily I filled in for the Monday world music show.

    Amasong caught my eye because they were choral AND world music. This meant I could play their second CD, Amai, as a new music selection and I knew what to expect.

    This CD is very good but the songs are a bit hard to hear, mostly due to the CD being recorded live in a church.

    My favorite tracks are:
    14 Dig My Grave Both Long and Narrow
    15 Todor Todorka
    17 Burial Society Song

    Pop Music:

    1. Paint the Forest Winter
    2. Peace of Mind 3: Oasis of Bliss
    3. Rainstorm in Borneo
    4. Rasa in Concert [Live]
    5. Reality of a Dreamer
    6. River Crossing
    7. River of Gold
    8. Sacred World Chants
    9. Season Traditions
    10. Secret Observatory
