FIDDLESONG Falcon Productions FP005 Tamarack'er Down mp3 African Suite - The Call mp3 CONTACT Anne to ORDER CD	The latest: Fiddlesong is full of tapestries inspired by many of the cultures that call Canada home. But this is no pastiche of djembes and fiddles. It is a truly new music where fiddle brings its voice to the sensibilities of other cultures as much as the other way around. And from its evocative opening chorus, Anne's voice takes us through a rich range of moods and styles, at one moment wailing, another whispering, our laments, our fears and our joys. Fiddlesong features such reknowned Canadian talents as Njacko Backoon kalimba, Kwazi Dunjo, Debahis Sinha and Rich Greenspoon on drums and percussion, George Kohler, Artie Roth and Randy Kempf on bass, Sasha Luminsky and Tom Leighton on accordion and piano, Ian Bell on guitar and Colleen Allen on soprano sax.
