"To meet her, 

 to see her perform, 

 to hear her music, 

 to hear her voice.. you sense something… 

 there is a familiarity, there’s  that kind of thing... 

 is that electric pulling…

 that you feel when amongst family...” 

                                                                 

                                                -  Michael Stipe , R.E.M.

Her new project Venezuela, produced by

Rain Phoenix, is a tribute the folkloric songs of her home country. These songs are dedicated to Venezuelan people, fighting where ever they might be,  for democracy and  human rights. This is a celebration of a country from the voice of a ex-pat yearning for home.
