Born in Ireland and raised in Cyprus, Diana Rowan melds these 2 traditions in a compelling CD of Irish and Mediterranean music. Diana's harp is accompanied by traditional Irish instruments (whistle and guitar), as well as more eastern instruments (oud, lyra, and bowed tambur). Percussion of both traditions blend in unexpected ways, giving the listener a new experience of their own musical favorites. Diana's voice adds an additional texture to a few of the songs. With the final selection, a medley of the Appalachian spirituals Wayfaring Stranger and Sinner Man along with the Ladino Rosa das Rosas, she comes full circle, adding America, where she now resides, to the mix. Give this CD a try. We're sure you'll become a fan.
