Azam Ali - El Rey De Francia!

The Track "El Rey De Francia (Sephardic, Jodeao-Spanish)" is taken from Azam Ali's fantastic solo debut Album "Portals Of Grace" (2002). Listen and enjoy it. Having made her name as the ethereal vocalist of Vas & Niyaz, Azam Ali ventures forth with this shimmering solo debut. Openly influenced by Hildegard von Bingen, "Portals Of Grace" continues Ali's long relationship with the music and stories of medieval Europe, drawing from Sephardic, Breton, and Latin sources, to name a few. About the track: "One day while embroidering, a princess, the youngest of three daughters of the King of France, falls into a dream. Awakened by her mother, she recounts her dream which her mother interprets as an omen of a prince who will come to carry her off to far away lands."
