Customer reviews of Gigi
|
Customer Rating: 
Summary: a lot of fun
Comment: If like me you aren't initiated much into world music this is a great introduction. Gigi has a great voice and I listened to this disk many times already. She always has great names playing with her on the instruments and uses ideas from her Ethiopian background to color her music. Wonderful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful album that speaks to everyone
Comment: The first song from GIGI that I ever listen was "Bale Washintu". Never heard about the artist but knew from the lyrics that she could be from east Africa so I went online to check. God she has a voice and the music is just perfect. The next action for mr was you guess to buy the CD. No need to understand Amharic, the music speaks to my heart. Lovely how music can heal and create dreams..
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ambient music?
Comment: This is ambient music like George Washington was a politician. The combination of the african sounding vocals and americanized instrumentals really works for me. Active listening encouraged...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Gigi Is Fantastic
Comment: What a beautiful voice. It doesn't matter that most people cannot understand the words. It may even be more beautiful for not understanding them. Gigi transports one to other lands, planets even.
Customer Rating:
Summary: GiGi
Comment: Beautiful vocals and music. Anyone who's been at my home when this CD (any GiGi Cd for that matter!)is playing, has commented on how beautifully relaxing it is. I leant a friend the CD and I can't get it back, as he is crazy about it! I do wish GiGi would include some Amharic translations for us single-languaged Americans...although maybe that's a hint that we need to diversiy our language knowledge independently! Lovely, lovely CD. You will not be disappointed!

Editorial Reviews:
|
For her major label debut, Ethiopian chanteuse Gigi has found the ideal sonic foil in producer Bill Laswell. He provides a solid foundation for her compositions and airy voice, grounding them with gospel organ, an elastic rhythm section, and contributions from some top jazz names, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Pharaoh Sanders, to lend an air of adventure. Gig's Amharic lyrics might not be readily understood by American ears, but her seductive tones are warm enough to translate into any language. Despite its studio gloss and sometime ambient excursions, as on "Adwa," the record was made by real, live musicians, without loops or samples, giving it a richness and depth. The music works superficially as pleasurable background, but listen more closely and there's a definite sophistication to the tracks that gives the album longevity, and marks Gigi as an emerging major talent. --Chris Nickson
