'At the Gates of Heaven'
by Dykeappella, $15.95
Speaking of a capella, these five women also have wonderful voices which blend well, but you'll
be laughing too hard to notice. Worth it for just for the track, "Women's Bookstore," on which
we are encouraged to 'hang out at your local women's bookstore' in order to run into the 'lezzie
literati,' but with some thoughtful and tender songs to round it out. Price $ 15.95 |
Libana
'Fire Within' by Libana, $16.98 cd,
$9.98 cassette This 1990 release includes women's songs from
cultures all over the world with a spiritual/ritual feel to them.
The chorus performs many selections a capella, a wonderful vehicle
for their strong, clear voices.

The Offering
The Native American Flute comes alive in the hands of Mary Youngblood. Of Aleut and Seminole ancestry, she is one of the first Native women to record this sacred instrument. Her haunting music is much more than song, it is "liquid poetry, a prayer." A profoundly original and vibrant performance recorded in the natural acoustic space of an underground cavern in California.
