Hymn

This song is written and produced by Mauro Lazzaretto. It is a contribution of the singer Sharon Ben-Zadok, who interpreted the lyrics with immense care and added a Mantra in Sanskrit, the flautist Sandro Friedrich and the traditional secrets and knowledges of the sarangi-player Yuji Nakagawa. It allowed to create a new blend of many identities. The song is about endless ways our planet is speaking to us and our impossibility to hear that voice, unless we open our mind and not just our ears. A warning, but also a hymn of hope.

Banyan Tree

The banyan tree is a significant multicultural symbol. It appears in almost every world religion. Buddha is said to have sat under a banyan tree for seven days after he attained enlightenment. It is venerated in India and in Hinduism it is associated with the fulfillment of wishes. Banyan is mentioned in many scriptures as a tree of immortality and it is truly a cross-cultural link between us all. Our song features the voice of Sharon Ben-Zadok, who adds her own touch to the banyan tree story, singing in Hebrew as well as in English.

“When you will get to my house, To the melodies of my love, I'll open my door for you, ..I'll give you my heart.” It is a love song that I wrote, describing the deep love between me and my soul who yearns to fulfill its destiny without fear and trust its way in this world. In the song I speak with my soul and the Creator about my journey as a singer in this world but can also be interpreted as a love song between a woman and her lover. This song symbolizes my deep love for singing and music and the deep gratitude to make music.

I came across fantastic voices of Sepideh, Syssi and Sharon. Touched by their beauty and power I’ve decided to create a piece that each one of them will have a part and absolute freedom of expression. Basically it stands on improvisations of the ladies and a melody that I have written as a “child song” inspired by the conceptual idea of “the mothers voice as the first human voice we all hear”. As these voices may vary from place to place - they are all creating the same feeling in us - love. Please - enjoy.

This chants - Yemenite (but in Hebrew!) and Indian (for the love of God) I couldn’t yet hear only in one place - the church…. So now we all can :)
