Escapades radiates sincerity; its a tribute to the power of music which transcends race, religion and politics and appeals to what is common to humankind: love, life, hope and the soul. Talented musicians from several traditions play side by side, each contributing their own distinct flavor to a unique interchange of musical textures and colors. A mysterious Arabic pulse in a nuanced musical tag between East and West. A great show!&amp;quot; In whichever of the many languages she sings in, there is always emotion, yearning and passion to be heard in Christine's sultry, but powerful instrument. Her voice and presence envelop and convey the listener to a place where cares cannot reach, where dreams are bestirred and memories revisited.</description><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:08:46 -0600</pubDate><link>http://christineatallah.afropopshop.org/#album_91048</link></item></channel></rss>
