Sing Me Home

Description

This 2016 album from Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble will surprise and
delight with imaginative sounds that transform the traditional musical
landscape. Sing Me Home is the sixth album by the Grammy-nominated Silk Road
Ensemble and it’s founding member and guiding light, Yo-Yo Ma. The album
features special guest performers Rhiannon Giddens, Sarah Jarosz, Abagail
Washburn, Gregory Porter, Lisa Fischer, Grammy Award-winning jazz guitarist,
Bill Frisell and more. Produced by Silk Road Ensemble member Johnny Gandelsman
and Grammy Award winner Kevin Killen (U2, Kate Bush, Elvis Costello, David
Bowie), Sing Me Home examines the ever-changing idea of home, with original
and traditional tunes composed or arranged by members of the Ensemble’s unique
collective of global artists. Each piece invites listeners to explore the
“music of home” through the individual experiences of Ensemble members, many
of whom are immigrants. The result is a compelling collection of innovative
and deeply moving tributes to the rich cultural heritage of the Balkans,
China, Galicia, India, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Mali people of Roma, Syria and
the United States. Sing Me Home is a companion album, developed and recorded
alongside The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble, a
documentary feature film from Oscar and Emmy-winning director Morgan Neville
that tells the story of the Ensemble and Silk Road, it’s parent organization.
