In search of music to use for a Kwanzaa Celebration, I purchased this CD. It is absolutely wonderful and just what I needed to complete my celebration. I love the music, the different instruments and the vocals are excellent. Thank you!

This album is the premier authentic collection of music inspired by and based upon the ideals, stories and history of Kwanzaa. In addition to a wide range of instrumental pieces, the album features eight specifically chosen vocal performances, ranging from traditional African songs to contemporary composed pieces. A standout for me is "Mya Si Grei", a traditional song which originated in Guyana, sung by enslaved Africans and passed down to their children. The lyrics roughly translate into "Even though we are here in these terrible conditoins, we are still the same proud, noble people we always were." I also enjoyed Jody Gray's a capella arrangement of "Lift Every Voice" performed with the Free Voices of Praise Choir. This is a dynamic, beautiful CD, one I highly recommend to celebrate Black History any time of year.
You only have to love music to love this album. March 21, 1999

Women of the Calabash are simply magic. Their harmony and voices are among the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. It's easy to lose yourself in their music and messages. A must have for any music collection.
Teachers should add this album to their collection! February 21, 1999

What a great collection of music to share with children during Black History Month! (Not to mention during the holiday season.) My elementary students loved listening to the music and learning about Africa. Thanks for selling this album!
