You may have heard her voice while on a massage table, in a movie theater or on the dancefloor, but Azam Ali's latest work is meant for the rocking chair. Though becoming a mother inspired Ali to record a collection of lullabies, From Night to the Edge of Day (Six Degrees) draws as much from her experiences in exile. Given her life's journey from Iran to India to Los Angeles and Montreal, Ali is keenly in touch with the pain of being cut off from the motherland. (Isn't that what babies are really crying about?) Whether she's singing in Farsi or borrowing words from Azeris, Kurds, Palestinians and Turks, Ali creates a space for melancholia and wonder, longing and soothing, wandering and nesting. 11/17/11 >> go there
