IRARI is the unique combination of multi-talented vocalist Irina Mikhailova and pianist / composer Ira Stein playing haunting and sublime arrangements of ten beautiful Eastern European folk songs.
Joined by a group of renowned and inspirational artists, including Paul McCandless on English horn, Dann Zinn on soprano and tenor sax, and Hans Christian on cello, IRARI weaves a sensual tapestry of landscapes and emotions with melodies that linger on and on in the ears of the listener.
"I cannot say enough about the magic of Irina and her voice, it needs to be experienced and heard to fully appreciate and comprehend the brilliance and beauty of it. It is a translucent dream, dreaming so beautiful, a sensational and oh so sensual ballet of incredibly lovely notes that demands ones fullest attention as she layers and harmonizes. The strength and tenderness of her voice rivets me. No one does a love song better then Irina!!!" ~ Stefano Krieger
We loved the firest track "In the Mist" from her album Living the Dream so much, we used it in the background for our first YogaHub DVD "The Gift of Yoga".
