Album Notes

AUTOGRAPHED COPIES AVAILABLE AS OF 15th DECEMBER 2004!!!

Tsidii Le Loka (Rafiki in the Lion King on Broadway) is a spectacular regal presence that truly imparts a new African feel (most evident on the new song "Amanzi") to a tried-and-true show.
-M.T.S.

The phenomenon has now gone Broadway, and composer Bill Whelan--who's done for his native Irish folk music what Freddie Mercury and Queen did for Italian opera--has raised the musical stakes considerably. Whelan's familiar, amped-up take on the Chieftains is supplemented here by harmonically brave a cappella refrains and even the fusion-minded use of Spanish guitar and flamenco rhythms. Whelan has written six new songs for this production, which features vocals by Brian Kennedy and Tsidii Le Loka (who has appeared in Broadway's The Lion King as Rafiki). The album thus presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date version of the evolving Riverdance phenomenon. Whelan is what many critics hate most--a consistent crowd pleaser.

REVIEWS

A dream in music
author: Guthorm
Everything in this production is just amazing. The delicate voice in 'reel around the sun', the opening track, amazed me since the start. The soundscapes of that track are incredible, the talent evident. I did always love the charm of the irish sounds, and here I could have then melted into a modern ambience of top quality, which made almost cry when I could listen to it. But this CD is much more, something not possible to describe with just words. I didn't see it in broadway, but I can love this music and really wish I can attend to a Riverdance show... More than music, this CD is an experience. An amazing experience. (Augusto, The Wimshurst's Machine).
