| | Dadawa : Voices from the Sky - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Dadawa herself takes a more upfront role in the singing than before from the start, while the pace of the songs is just that subtly a bit more quicker, in contrast to the generally slow, awe-inspiring swoop of Sister Drum at its start. |
 | | The sense of Dadawa being something of a Chinese Enya crops up again on certain songs, such as her multitracked vocals on "The Believer," but the overall concept and project is still something unique. |
 | | "The Believer" itself, for itself, is described not a love song but 'a soul of a believer crying out against the strictures of religious dogma' -which when one considers the Peking government's continuing campaign to eradicate the power of the lamas in Tibet has an unfortunately chilling corollary. |
