Jehan's new double CD, 21st Century Priestess, is an Arabesque fusion album. A musical journey from east to west that blends the haunting rhythms and melodies of the Middle East with French, African, Creole, Latin and Hindi spices, preserving rich traditions while evolving new ones. Jehan artfully combines elements of trance, rock, hip hop, blues, reggae, funk and rap with aspects of sacred and classical Middle Eastern music. The result is an inspirational melding of ancient voices and playful entertainment.

The Shimmy Y'all CD (selections #12-22) caters to the demand for a new urban music with an edge, intense beats and a sophisticated ethno-techno sound. Everyone - get up and dance!
