Behind That Light by Monica Ramos (CD, 2001 6D) New Age Pop Harpist/Vocalist

Description: Follow-up to the well-received Moai, Behind That Light once again blends Monica Ramos's inventive harpestry with guitar, vocals, ambient sound textures, and chunky club beats. Assisted by Per Andreason once again, this time out Ramos stretches herself as primary composer and sings (in Spanish) on roughly half the tracks, making a less-balanced though more personal recording. In the vein of kindred spirit fiddler Natalie MacMaster, whose In My Hands pushed boundaries of both the Celtic genre and performer, Behind That Light finds Ramos redefining what listeners can come to expect. Her classical training is readily evident (particularly on a composition such as the solo performance of "Mami"), and yet, clearly, Ramos is ready to mix it up pop-style as on the tempo-tastic Fantasia-gone-global "Joborg." Yet it is on the deceptively simple swelling melody of "Creo (Faith)" where this young talent comes from Behind That Light to shine most brightly. --Paige La Grone Combined shipping discount on all items unless otherwise noted.
