CD: She is a Tree of Life (2 CDs) by Desert Wind

Lush & inspiring, this compilation of music is food for the heart & spirit, done with sensitivity & soulforce. While this 2-CD set is a re-release of the best Hebrew songs from Sarasvati (PLUS five original Desert Wind versions of Hebrew favorites), you can hear Middle Eastern chant, belly dance sensuousness, & classic rock influences, as well as lyrics that sing of repairing the world. The power & grandeur of the sound comes from the Hebrew verses & from the Desert Wind singers, who do a kind of Temple Priestess vocalese. These songs & chants are a gift to those of us who like to dance as we pray. They have a strong pulse & a hot core, & they groove the body as well as the mind.
