Sounds of the Indigo Years: Music to Hear: Vol.2

Indigo Child Pictures, Images and Photos

Although a little late, "Sounds of the Indigo Years: Music to Hear" has returned to offer you another fantastic, progressive and of course lesser known gem of musical brilliance to be shared and savored...

This week's pick: Cecilia Zabala- an enchanting singer and guitarist from Argentina, bestowing incredible vocals which range from soothing, Gilberto-esque romantic undulations to more experimental vocal acrobats, all accompanied by a beautiful range of warm and easy to more clipped and energetic guitar playing.

I was lucky enough to have met her when she was touring with my uncle for the International Guitar Night tour, an annual U.S. tour bringing together artists in contemporary classical guitar from around the world. However, don't judge too quickly, whether you enjoy this genre or not...for she escapes classification.

She has two albums and you can check her out at www.myspace.com/ceciliazabala

****************************
What an incredible time to be alive musically! So, I offer you a weekly 'check this out' opportunity to expand your musical horizons and check out what's out there. Suggestions for future additions are most welcome. I've named it "Sounds of the Indigo Years" after the so-called Indigo Children. To learn more about them (perhaps us), you can check things out at Wikipedia (in this case it's a good summary).

Basically, it is named "Sounds of the Indigo Years" on the notion that never before have people been so able and open to connect with and explore other cultures, no matter which culture(s) you belong to, through music. Through that connection, this rich musical age- whether by default or intentionally- I believe is improving the world. Listen close.
