Rainforest Indigenes Attitude of Gratitude |
"'MOTHER EARTH, FATHER SKY' is a unique collection of tracks. Evie
Pikler's powerful vocals highlight the wonder and intrigue of
professional singing. Her melodious sounds beautifully relay the message
of unity and love, celebrating the strength of indigenous culture.
A number of instruments delightfully blend together with the velvety
sounds of Evie's voice, including piccolo flute, log drums, violins,
cello, keyboards, harmonica and oboe. The result is an exceptionally
warm and tender album which includes a very special rhythm and blues
rendition of 'Terra Nullius'. The serenity and sincerity of 'MOTHER EARTH, FATHER SKY' touches the soul and warms the heart - it certainly is an extraordinary blend of sound, poetry and wisdom." |
