Healing the Holy Land
A musical journey of faith
What do an Iraqi woman from Baghdad, a Jewish peace advocate living in Jerusalem, a Palestinian oud player, an Iranian singer, a Lebanese Christian and a Turkish nez player all have in common? They all appear on Soundings of the Planet’s new release, Healing the Holy Land. This stunning collection of songs and sacred chants from the Middle East represents a profound union of Jewish, Christian and Muslim music in a spirit of harmony and peace.
Dean and Dudley Evenson, following a long-held dream, have brought together musicians from the three Abrahamic faiths or People of the Book, as they are known. Because they are three groups that are often in conflict, what better way to bridge the chasm than with an album that honors and features each of their unique spiritual contributions? This album is a continuation of the Evensons’ mission of building cultural bridges of Peace Through Music, which they have pursued since founding their label, Soundings of the Planet, in 1979.
This album is perfect for anyone looking for spiritual music to support meditation, contemplation or a yoga practice. The combination of faiths is a refreshing way to honor and experience the true spirit of the holy season or enhance a sacred moment any time.
