Album Notes

"Alisa's voice is at once delicate and powerful, warm yet mysterious, but above all, it is an open invitation to musicians from diverse traditions to share in the discovery of something new", says Alex de Grassi. Alisa has just completed work on a new CD, one which marks a radical, but also natural, departure from her contemporary personal music. Along with producer Alex de Grassi, Alisa has collected and arranged these traditional Jewish lyrics in a lush setting of world-music instrumentation to showcase the deep musical roots of her cultural heritage. "Alisa's CD is a marvelous addition to the contemporary voices who continue to give life and vitality to the Jewish tradition. Alisa's heart is as warm as her superb voice," says Peter Yarrow. "Very cool mix of the Jewish Diaspora," says Laney Goodman of NPR's "Women in Music." It has to do with generosity. What makes Alisa's songs stand apart is her own sense and gift of generosity. - Robin Roberts, The Open Road, KUSP

Perfect!

I took a chance on this artist since I needed a version of a song she sings and I love it. Very cultural/international. I plan to use her song at an all-nations devotional.
