Dancers Of Twilight

Review ", earthy, and heavenly, these love-based pieces resonate deeply through body and mind, kissing the soul with unapologetic affection." -- Napra Review "...inspiring music that stirs the emotions, the intellect and body all at once. It is innovative, imaginative and adventuresome." -- Innerchange "Dance-happy rhythms and deliciously exotic vocals which celebrate the untamed passion for life that lives deep in our hearts." -- New Age Retailer Musically rich, soothing to the soul, and extremely seductive, Zingaia is a duo consisting of lyricist/artist (and former stage magiciain) Kaitlyn Breene and her renowned jazz pianist Michael. Their name is a combination of Zingari (a tribe of gypsy troubadours from ancient Greece) and Gaia, goddess of earth. Put together it's a combination of the mytho-poetically spiritual with sensual surrender and Dionysian dancing abandon of their world music beats and samples. Under the guiding tutelage of producers David and Steve Gordon and with new group member, vocalist and percussionist Abbi Spinner, Dancers of Twilight emerges as a bold work that transcends the boundaries of much "world groove" music to take on its own uniquely personal stamp, an alternative pop ballad-flavor stemming from Breene's popular musical roots (he's toured with acts like Sarah Vaughn and Freddie Hubbard, and done everything from funk to rock to country). That mix of deep spiritual center with musical adventurousness and irresistible sensuality makes Dancers of Twilight hard to resist on any level. "At the Window" starts on a slow groove that slowly opens up into a warm, pulsing rhythm of chimes, bass and synths, with Spinner's seductive, disembodied vocal seeming to emanate from a ghostly cabaret or 1990s David Lynch film; it's eerie yet comforting, like finding you childhood bedroom--just as you remember it, all lit up with an orange glow--in the middle of a dark, deserted mountain castle. "Wild as You" bumps it up a notch with spirited vocal samples, bold percussion, and yowling animal sounds while the title track moves into a much more pop direction with Kaitlyn crooning, softly: "Holy communion / sacred reunion / come and make / bread and wine," accompanied by chimes, maraca beats, and funky fretless bass. Mixing a lot of styles and flavors can sometimes make a musical stew that sounds kind of, well, world-music generic, but Zingaia does it all amazingly right, due in part to Michael Breene's stylistic range and newcomer Spinner's intensely sensual singing, which takes the erotic flow of Zingaia's first album (on which Spinner did not appear) even deeper into a spellbinding realms of tantric-romantic reverie. Thus Dancers of Twilight becomes a can't-miss choice for hanging out on the couch with a potential lover on the all-important third date, or a romantic anniversary weekend; if Zingaia doesn't enhance and/or jump-start your love nest twig-gathering, then they're either not the right person, or you're both just too busy dancing. -- DailyOM, April 9, 2010 Zingaia will most likely appeal to fans of Enigma, Deep Forest and Delerium, especially the latter. The name Zingaia comes from a combination of Zingari, a tribe of gypsies and troubadours in ancient Greece and Gaia, the Goddess of Earth. This is a nice mix of ethnic/world rhythms and grooves mixed with layers of textured synthesizer ambience and atmospheres and female vocals. An exotic, and at times erotic, body rhythm which is not devoid of thought. Lyrically infused with mythical imagery and wisdom, "Ancient secrets, mystic rhymes". Much like the feel of Delerium but with a vision. Zingaia is filled with hope, life and divine passion. "At The Window" is filled with eroticism while "Life After Life" is a celebration of life in the knowledge and wisdom of the eternal. "We so bound yet so free, We are wedded to wonder, We so filled with desire, We are fused by the fire, Step out of time...". It's nice to see dance music with a vision. Music you can just as easily enjoy dancing late at night or relaxing during the day. An album with lots of positive synergy! -- Latex Records, Latex Records, TG Mondalf Product Description Pulsating global rhythms, sensual female vocals and smooth trance-dance grooves create a mystical mood. Building on the seductive energy of their acclaimed debut release, "Beneath the Veil," Zingaia has created their own original style of Goddess-inspired ambient world dance music. This rich enticing mix of exotic sounds from around the world and Abbi Spinner’s sensual vocals, will ignite your inner fire of sacred passion.
