Piazza has created an honest and soul transmitting recording
author: Jeff Campo, Soweto Productions
Judy Piazza has created an honest and soul transmitting recording (you can sense the pure intention). The positive energy vibrates with every stroke of a drum and with every lilting vocal note. This record is a pleasure to listen to, truly heartfelt. Simply a beautiful soundscape which touches my heart and makes my soul feel at home. Thanks.
