\"In the course of human and earthly events, the magnitude of human\'s conquest of nature has wreaked havoc on the social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects of life so much so that the natural desire to live necessitates a complete conscious transformation of paradigm and action for the harmonious advancement of the planetary good.\"* This spoken-word intro from the title track of RISE represents its underlying theme as a collection of songs for sacred activism, intending to awaken, inspire and heal the heart of humanity.
Aliza Hava is not your typical singer/songwriter. This fiery songstress is firmly dedicated to using the healing power of music to inspire personal and global transformation. A breathtakingly explosive performer, her introspective, well-crafted lyrics explore the deepest levels of love, life, spirituality, and the importance of positive social change.
Released on her own label, FireMusicFaerie Productions, RISE is an artistic statement of conscience calling for an end to war and a growing awareness of our environmental responsibility. With a blend of classic rock and folk influence, tracks have been heard on XM Satellite Radio, WBAI Peace & Justice Radio, STAR 93.3 FM, LastFm, and independent radio stations throughout the country and overseas, including All for Peace Radio in Israel/Palestine.
The Aliza Hava Band performs throughout the U.S. and internationally. To contact, please visit www.alizahava.com

...a ferocious album with mainstream potential....
author: Jerusalem Post
New York native Aliza Hava is descended from an esteemed rabbinical family that includes Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok Rabinowitz, "the Biala Rebbe" of 18th century Poland. Her brother, Daniel Sieradski, is the Jewish culture maven behind initiatives including the Jewschool blog and Jerusalem's Corner Prophets rap collective.
Now a resident of Israel, Hava has performed her spiritual, socially conscious folk and femme rock at the 2005 United Nations International Day of Peace, at a World Peace Prayer Ceremony at the Washington Monument and at clubs in North America and around Israel. Hava's acoustic demo CD was recently reconfigured as a complete LP called Rise thanks to the production vision of Jimmy Goodman and impressive session work from mandolin player Dave Ellison, drummer Hector Becerra, bassist Chris Macchia and guitarist John Trent. The ensemble convened at a studio in New York state for sessions this past spring.
Rise is a ferocious album with mainstream potential that uses a sound along the lines of Tracy Bonham and early Alanis Morissette. A certain grandiosity fills the disc, thanks mostly to songs like "Child of the Sun," "Hands of Time" and the title track. "The Powers That Be" is laden with slow harmonies, while "Worth of Water" uses a stripped-down guitar rhythm. The album is a hodgepodge of heady philosophy as well, with the opening song referencing I Ching, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes. "On the Inside," meanwhile, calls for introspective prayer, and the title track deals with the gap between personal and nationalist dreams.........................by Ben Jacobson
