Velez has created dozens of recordings featuring his percussion, working in a variety of styles and ensembles. On this album, listeners have the rare chance to hear a meditative, simple solo effort. He plays bendir (a frame drum from North Africa) or bodhran, adding caxixi (a Brazilian rattle) or maracas. He overlays this with wispy voices that come and go. Touted as "healing" musical work that stimulates the energy centers of the body and mind it is also excellent listening music, played with subtle passion or firebrand virtuosity, building layer upon layer of complex rhythm using the most basic of tools. Velez makes a frame drum sing melodies like few percussionists can, and here you can have it without the usual extras --Louis Gibson

A Moving Experience February 27, 2009

A wonderful representation of each of the seven chakra energies. These are auditory metaphors that help one to conceptualize and experience that which is ponderous to explain and difficult to grasp through words alone.
And yes, it will make you want to dance.

A friend gave me this CD to listen to, saying it was really great.
She was right. It is lively, has fantastic rhythm and moves you. The best part is that you can enjoy it in motion or relaxing. This is a 10.
love the CD November 4, 2006

I bought this for my Tai Chi instructor. I had a copy that I had taken to one of the classes, and the class enjoyed it. I especially like the drumming as it sets a cadence for the movements.
Even My 8-Year-Old Loves This One May 5, 2005

The rhythms in this CD are quite compelling. They drove my (admittedly musically aware) 8-year-old to exclaim, "Mom! That's really neat!" I don't know a better way to describe it.
Oh, I suppose that I could say that as a flamenco dancer who uses castanets and palmas (handclapping) as percussion, I can appreciate how Velez uses simple instruments to build complex and interesting structures.
Or I could say that this CD provides catchy rhythms without annoying melodies.
But I'll just say, "It's really neat!" and leave it at that.
