PAIX

No better way to welcome the weekend than early morning coffee and the beautifully haunting sounds of Catherine Ribeiro and the Alpes. I can't fully explain the effect her music has on me. It's almost like flying to some land where everything is a swirling mass of black, silver and purple...like being inside of a crystal ball. Incense and open windows.

The first song I ever heard was "Jusqu'à ce que la force de t'aimer me manque" and I literally felt my heart start racing and almost burst into tears. The force behind her voice inspired something in me that I'll never forget. The way that I sang with Electric Desert changed at that moment. I suppose that you could say that I actually started to truly sing with heart and soul. No longer would just opening my mouth and letting sounds come out do. Her voice led me to that place deep inside your gut where your true voice lies.



This woman blows my mind, breaks my heart, makes me forget, lets me see, takes me to other worlds, shakes my soul, etc, etc, etc.
