Release Notes:
--------------
The French tribal folk / neo-classical duo Rajna is back with a new album
entitled Offering. Four years have passed since the latest album and now
Fabrice and Jeanne LeFebvre are finally back with a new opus on the
Portuguese Equilibrium Music. What immediately stands out is the crystal
clear production which makes every sound and detail audible which adds to
the overall atmosphere on this album. The instrumentation consists of
various instruments and the musical influences are very diverse, with
abundant plundering of World Music from various regions of Southern Europe
and the Middle East. The vocals of Jeanne can still be characterized as
Heavenly Voices. The arrangements mostly have a symphonic basis and this
gives the music a serious and almost ethereal undercurrent. Yet Offering
doesn’t sound depressing and is accessible enough for an audience which
for instance is also familiar with the work of Dead Can Dance.
