Album Notes

Music to get you moving!
The combination of high energy drums and female vocals is incredible!

"Best-selling Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors are ... with an incendiary album fired up with music to get you moving! HOT, Hot, Hot! Great for dancing; wonderful for just listening to day or night."
-- PJ Birosik, CDNOW

The music on TRIBE differs from the thirteen previous recordings by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors in that there are two extended length tracks, each of which have sub-sections which can be programmed for repeated play.

The first track, "Tsunami," features Gabrielle's renownedd system of the 5Rhythms™ (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness) woven together over a 27-minute extended dance music foundation, enabling the listener for the first time ever to move smoothly through each energetic experience without interruption.
The second track, "Talking Sticks," features a 14-minute grounding rhythm with seven different drummers soloing for two minutes each on their favorite percussion instruments. An incredibly challenging piece of music to record, over 70 tracks were "stacked like building blocks" in order to capture the wide variety of ethnic and contemporary hand drums, percussion and vocals heard here.

As one critic noted, Gabrielle Roth is the only woman in America making tribal, ambient music and she's been doing it for over 20 years.
