Red Sands Dreaming

Product Description
This record displays a striking example of World Music Culture against a shimmering Pop/Dance backdrop. Producers from three continents converged on Australia to participate in a sharing of cultures through the universal medium of music. The result of their interaction with the Aboriginal people and their private culture has been to present traditional Aboriginal songs dating back 40 thousand years to our contemporary consciousness. With the blessings of the different Aboriginal clan leaders involved bestowed upon this collaboration, a very special work issues forth to the world outside Aboriginal Australia. This album is first in a series designed to bring Global Cultural musical experiences to the attention of an increasingly inquisitive and sophisticated world audience.

Red Sands Dreaming.......2006-02-02

Great CD! Highly recommend. Listened to CD in one sitting; great liner notes. Wonderful sounds from Australia - a real privilege to hear the voices and culture of a people most know little about - very expressive and evocative. The producer is to be commended for his sensitivity in bringing this wonderful music forward. Song selections are varied in tempo and mood.
