Reviews

Rev. Mike Young

It's THAT new!

Ani's music does, indeed, create a new genre. Islamic music? No, no. Just a bunch of middle eastern discordant noise. Not this stuff. It's lyrical and toe tapping. And it crosses all the barriers that have separated east from west. It's as American as Joni Mitchell, yet connects us with one of the most vital religious communities growing in our midst. If Progressive Islamic Values sounds like a contradiction to you, Listen Here! This is a voice that celebrates our common human values.
I was recently at Epcot for their Candlelight Procession. Full orchestra and 200 voice youth choir. There in the second row was a teenager in a hajib. I did a double take, the remembered that Jesus is a prophet in Islam, too! Thoroughly appropriate that she should sing, too! Now here is Ani, taking it to a new level.
I'm teaching some of these songs to my choir next week.
Rev. Mike Young, Unitarian Universalist Minister
