AMG Review of Sing to Me the Dream
William Ruhlmann
All Music GuideThis live album is drawn from Holly Near's spring 1984 tour with exiled Chilean folk group Inti-Illimani. The eight male Chileans play a variety of acoustic string and wind instruments and sing in a stirring style that is sometimes reminiscent of the Gipsy Kings. Near, singing in English and Spanish, is equally stirring, whether employing her more strident or more delicate approaches. A genuine collaboration, the album effectively showcases both performers.
