Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Oakland women's vocal ensemble, founded in 1979 as an offshoot of the Westwind International Folk Ensemble, takes its name from the Bulgarian and Macedonian word for bouquet. The program is anchored by 'Shen Khar Venakhi', the ancient Georgian hymn to the vine, sung alongside Balkan and Slavic village polyphony.
