Album Review

A collection of world vocal music backed by sparse yet highly effective vernacular guitars, flute and percussion. Material ranges from a peppy Karelian tune ("Oi Dai") from the portfolio of Finnish girl-group Varttina to a cappella songs of the Balkans and Middle East, where Libana really hit their stride. Standouts include the "Medley of Slav Wedding Songs" and a gorgeous vocal arrangement with hammer dulcimer of the traditional Rumanian cradle song "Joc de Leagne." While a minimalizing of dissonance means you won't mistake Libana's adaptations for the genuine article, neither is the listener persuaded that these women are ethnic vacationers.

Simply stunning
     
by Jamaru

Libana masterfully translates the music of other cultures into an eclectic though soothing and inspiring stew that is uniquely their own. Track 7, "Joc de Leagne", may be the single most beautiful song I've ever heard.
