The Awakening by Desert Rose

The Awakening Album has been hailed by critics as a fresh new sound that combines the signature of Desert Rose with diverse ancient chants. The music combines Tabla, Indian Harmonium, Spanish guitar, clarinet, piano and wind instruments with heart rendering vocals sung in ancient languages such as Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew, Gujarat & Urdu. The song, The Lord’s Dua, was endorsed by leaders of both Islam and Christianity including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Shaykh Seraj Hendricks, as a symbol for interfaith harmony and commitment. The CD was released on 20 April 2009 at the international Al Ghazali Conference at the Old Mutual Centre in Pinelands, Cape Town.
