Berakah are delighted to announce dates for the launch of their eagerly anticipated second album.
"One Ray of Light" will be launched in February 2011 with two very special concerts at St.Paul's Church in Covent Garden on Saturday 12th & and Sunday 13th February 2011.
Since the release of our first album "Music for the Heart" we've been touring the UK extensively, including a sold out concert at The Purcell Room in London South Bank Centre. Now, almost two years later, all the music for the new album is written and so the long process of recording begins. To whet the appetite of our "fans", we decided to give you a sneak preview of one of the songs from the new album. Filmed in a hot, humid West London artist's garret on what was possibly the hottest day in all known history, this song is inspired by the words of Ghandi and Martin Luther King, and we hope you enjoy it! Watch the video here.
For those who may be new to our work, you can learn more about us by viewing our first mini-documentary film, from waaay back in 2005, here.
Please put the dates for the launch in your diaries, join our Facebook group and spread the word to all your friends and networks. We'll be issuing details about how to reserve tickets in the near future, so join the FB group and you'll be the first to know.
We're excited by the music for the new album,which again combines our various backgrounds, both musical and cultural, bringing together Jazz, Blues, Classical and Middle Eastern influences to create a mystical mix for the mind, body and spirit.
