One of the most fabulous additions to the 2007 global cultural scene was the birth of Dr. Desiree Cox's debut cd, AWAKENINGS. Among The Bahamas' most brilliant contemporary contributors, Desiree Cox has blessed the universe over the years with her gifts as a healer (medical doctor and Reiki master--a unique combination), scholar (the country's first Rhodes scholar), writer (short stories in the island rhythm and thought-provoking essays), and now with the entrance of the Awakenings cd--soul tantalizing music which can best be described as "silken songs with satin tones", positioning her as a songwriter/vocalist au extraordinaire. Hear the podcast about Awakenings and sample musical tidbits at: http://web.mac.com/amasewa/ (click on Blog link at the top of the page, and access the podcast from there.)
When I want to lift the vibrations in my home office to one of pure peace and beauty as I go about my day's work, Awakenings, which is always in reaching distance, is one of the primary musical offerings I choose for such enjoyment and soul elevation.
Loving to experience artists and other progressive persons globally 
networking, I thought today about Desiree's collaboration across the Atlantic with the phenomenal musician, educator, and sound engineer, the late Andrei Strobert and her work becoming his last proud project while on this plane. Just pulled Andrei's "Spirit Within Us" tape off my shelves to listen to as I create this blog and followed it up with a listen to his beloved brother, 
Ricardo Strobert's "Homeland". Ricardo plays sax and flute on Awakenings. I know that Andrei is proud from the heavenly realm of the dedication of this magnificent musical creation to him and that Ricardo must embrace a smile of delight as the work to which he and his brother and friend contributed begins its cultural travels to homes and music-enjoying souls around the globe.
I know that you will want to be one of the "music-enjoying souls" to become a possessor of Awakenings and to share the cultural wealth with friends, family, and colleagues. God simply could not cease sharing the wealth when Desiree was in the blessings line. She has now blossomed into an accomplished visual artist as well as exemplified by her artwork on the Awakenings cd (see opening graphics.) As I said in the podcast, I know you will want to own this magnificent work.
