notes

The a cappella trio Mayim has dazzled audiences throughout the world since 1992. Ariel Thiermann, Jemila Alldis, and Natalie Bridgeman bring a literal lifetime of musical experience to bare on their close-knit harmonies. The stunning precision and blend that these three young women have attained, from singing together for half their lives, will surely take your breath away. "These divas have crafted an intimate repertoire that blurs the boundary between song and singer." (Metro Santa Cruz 2005)

Mayim performs original folk and soul, classical, and sacred music from around the world. These song birds have received acclaim at venues throughout the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas as well as throughout Europe, performing alongside acts such as Compay Segundo of the Buena Vista Social Club and Zap Mama.

The trio began their musical careers together while students at Santa Cruz High. Mayim quickly gained local notoriety performing at First Night Santa Cruz, the Cabrillo Music Festival, and the Kuumbwa Jazz Center.

In 1995, Mayim released a self-titled debut album, and in 2001, they released their second album “Soul Song.” Soul Song received the runner up award for the “Best Folk/Music From Around the World Album” category from the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Association. In 2005, Santa Cruzans flocked to Mayim’s holiday album Sacred Season. Mayim was awarded the Gail Rich Award in 2007.

When not singing with Mayim, Ariel pursues her own solo career as a singer-songwriter in Santa Cruz, having released two highly praised solo albums. Jemila is a realtor in Santa Cruz, while Natalie lives in San Francisco and is an international environmental and human rights lawyer. The music has kept these songbirds close to each other and close to home for over half their lives. They continue to find bliss in their songwriting and performing, to the joy of Santa Cruz audiences.

  • This and their other CD are well worth buying
    author: Mary Anne Gerhardt

    I learned of Mayim when they came to sing at CSE years ago, in San Jose. This Soul Song CD as well as their first CD, are great all the way from the start to the end. I am only sorry that there are only two CD's of them, available. On Soul Song, all the songs are great, I especially like the drum song they do second to last on this CD. Too bad it only goes about 2.5 minutes,

  • Beautiful

    I really enjoyed this CD. The songs are gorgeous.

  • Depth, precise harmonies, and richness to bring balance to ones life!
    author: Lila & Mark Swartz

    This CD is eclectic yet has a thread of humanity, and meaningfulness that escapes most current music. I love the varied languages. This music brings a whole new appreciation for the purity and beauty of the human voice. What an accomplishment! Thank you. We need more of this in our lives.

  • Beautiful songs, gorgeous harmonies, pure vocal bliss.

    Soul Song was exactly what I expected and more, having owned MAYIM's first album and enjoyed it immensely. There's more of the same here--excellent harmonies, thoughtful lyrics, and wide variety of material. The recording is transparent and open and lush sounding--beautifully engineered and lovingly recorded, which is necessary to do justice to the angelic and soaring vocal mastery present on every track of this superior album.
