Beautiful
author: Jemima Shafei-Ongu
This album is beautiful, calming and serene. The sound of these voices in harmony does more than reflect the musical influences that have inspired the melodies. They reflect the beauty of the divine that can be felt when people respect one anothers' differences and help communicate this understanding to others through music. Thank you

I caught two tracks from Myth and Myrrh on PBS radio and ordered it, hoping that the entire CD would be as compelling and comforting as the tracks I had heard. I am very pleased to say that it is.

Absolutely love it!
author: Laura
I love Lila: Myth and Myrrh – it’s beautiful, comforting, energizing, centering. A profound thank you to Jess and Deena for creating and sharing this amazing, intimate music.
The album has become a regular part of my mediation, yoga, and bedtime rituals. (I have even caught myself humming some of it at work).

I have been wanting to hear music like this forever! Beautiful beautiful beautiful!
