AMG Review of Moonsung

Heather Phares
All Music Guide

World music pioneer Sheila Chandra's diverse, groundbreaking works for the Real World label are collected on the 1999 retrospective Moonsung. The album explores Chandra's spectrum as a vocalist; she combines influences from Ireland, India, Andalucia and the Arabic world in a timeless, distinctive style. Creative and spiritual, Moonsung provides the perfect introduction -- or reacquaintance -- to Chandra's global artistic vision.
