Huffington Post, Album Review >>
Iranian singer Galeet Dardashti is the third generation of musicians to explore the classical Persian and Jewish songbook (not to mention first woman), and her debut, Naming, is a heart-stopping effort. An educator as well as performer--she recently attained a Ph.D. in anthropology focused on Israel's Misrahi and Arab music--hers is a voice that could easily raise the spirits of an audience. Born to a cantorial father, Dardashti has an operatic voice, which is gorgeously backed up by magnificent violin, dulcimer and darbuka exhibitions. The largeness of a sound displayed in "Hagar/Sarah" reminds one of efforts by Sussan Deyhim and Azam Ali, while the soft thump of "Sheba," a song of reconciliation (and leg shaving) by a famous queen, will make you fall hard in love with this deserving newcomer. 08/12/10 >> go there
