Biography
Circle of Women is a group of six female singers/musicians from diverse communities brought together in a Northern California studio to record an album of Women's Circle Songs and Chants. With traditional Celtic tunes, African American spirituals, New Age anthems, Shaker hymns, South African Chants, and some new songs that are sure to become circle song classics, this recording is full of reverance and passion for the Earth and all of creation. Each voice has a unique and special tone and the combination of these women is unsurpassed! This music was made to encourage folks to learn these songs and these types of songs to sing with their own communities.
Humble yourself … in the sight of your sister, bend down low. Humble yourself … in the sight of your brother, ask him what he knows and, We shall lift eachother up, higher and higher!*
*from "We Shall Lift Eachother Up" by I-chele Greentree
Recording started in November 1996 and was completed in May 1997. Circle of Women was produced by Alice Di Micele and was released on CD and cassette in late 1997 on EarthBeat!/Rhino Records.
