The Burmese tracks feature a unique synthesis of East and West.
In Anavatan Azerbaijan, CoCo York joins Baku’s Beribakh Children’s Choir in an original composition, and Deborah Carter and Mike Del Ferro give unforgettable renditions of popular songs by Azerbaijan’s great songwriter Tofig Guliyev.
This recording concludes with a spirited collaboration between Ira Spaulding, John Ferguson and the amazing Minsk Academy of Music Choir. We are sure you will enjoy the vocal beauty of this choir. As you will hear in “It Ain’t Necessarily So,”’ the Belarusians have a good feel for American humor!
