Black Sabbath - Live Evil (40th Anniversary) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Maya Youssef is a multi-award winning musician and composer from Syria. She is hailed as queen of the qanun, the 78-stringed Middle Eastern plucked zither. Mayas intense and thoughtful music is rooted in the Arabic classical tradition but forges pathways into Western classical and contemporary styles. It explores the emotional and healing qualities of music. The 'Finding Home' is a journey through memories and the essence of home both within and without in the search of that place of peace, comfort, and healing which manifests in everyone in a unique way. Maya wrote this album during a time of spiritual awakening. Over time she has come to accept the loss of her homeland and in the process of grieving (which she explored in her Album Syrian Dreams in 2018) Maya has found a much greater sense of home in the most spiritual sense.

Featuring the unmistakable voice of Bay Area luminary, Lyrics Born, 'Going to The Party' is the ultimate celebration of good times, good friends, and good music. Throwback raps weave wickedly with infectious grooves and a sing-a-long chorus, making this the perfect soundtrack for all your get-togethers and funky affairs. And, that's not all. Also taking B-Side Banger status on the 45 is 'Utility Man', featuring the dynamite mic prowess of rap hero, Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling). Riding a super slick double bass groove and neck snapping drums, the L.A. hip-hop legend flips fearsome rap styles, pitching his case as the ultimate go-to gun-for-hire M.C. It's two serious sides of funky rap goodness. Or, as Andy puts it, InchThe beats bang and the music's timelessInch. Indeed.
