Awaken the Dream

This CD of provocative, sacred music, invites the listener to consider a world of unlimited possibilities, through musical flavors and universal messages from cultures around the planet. You'll hear Misa's crystaline, yet rich voice along with Richard Bienvenu's resonating vocals and mystic guitar playing. Experience a journey into noveau folk music that will uplift and inspire you. You will hear some traditonal favorites from around the world, as well as music composed by these two talented musicians.

Inspiration for this CD came from a profound vision in which Misa was told she would write a new song for Christmas. That song came in the form of "Son of Morning Star."

The musical style is somewhat reminiscent of Loreena McKinnet, Rasa, or Paul Simon. Some songs feature vocal harmonics and overtone sounds, along with other sacred sounds blended into the music.

Songs include: Awaken the Dream, Jewel of a Lotus Flower (Om Mani Padme), Morning Star, Son of Morning Star, Maybe in Africa, Loy Yisa Goy (traditional Jewish), Olive Tree,and Follow Each Rain (Irish Blessing).
