LIVING IN KYROS: The Global Church Sings – Vol 2
Double CD on 1 disk! 19 songs – 13 cultures! $1 benefits World Hunger Appeal.
*From the cover of the CD: “Local Musicians Produce Album of Global Church Music” – “Two Milwaukeeans, “Dr. Abe” Caceres, noted pianist, composer and ethnomusicologist, and Bob Foley, highly respected bass player and vocalist, are among the five musicians from around the country featured in “Living in Kyros: The Global Church Sins Vol 2”. The recording is an outgrowth of the Global Mission Events (GMEs) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which take place across the country each year. The CD’s 19 selections represent 13 different cultures including Ghana, Kenya, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, Cajun, Chinese, Native American (arapaho), Syria and more. Newcomers to the Christian World Music scene will be delighted by the sounds of African hand drums, steel drums, Arabic tabla and Chinese gongs, and will also appreciate soulful renditions of “Amazing Grace” and “I Love to Tell the Story”.

Most of the music was recorded live at a GME in Lincoln, Nebraska. Four songs were recorded in Milwaukee with an ecumenical choir and instrumentasl ensemble representing youth, teens, and adults from of Our Savior’s Lutheran, All People’s, Bethel-Bethany UCC, Summerfield Methodist and Saint Casimir Roman Catholic Church.

“We were blessed during these events”, says Dr. Abe, “and we (Kyros) as a group wanted to be sure that the blessings would be multiplied. So we produced the album and decided that $1 of each sale will go to a charity.” The first beneficiary will be the World Hunger Appeal of the Evangelical Luterhan Church of America (ELCA).

"This CD has been the result of much prayer and effort. The heart of this music is directed towards the many First Nations people who desire culturally relevant music ¡V music that speaks of a relationships with God and the gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. We pray these songs will be a source of encouragement and inspiration ¡V encouragement for First Nations believers in their faith in Christ, and perhaps inspiration for new music yet to be written. As we have shown by this variety of style, the possibilities are exciting and limitless!¡¨ Produced by the Songs to the Creator Indigenous Music Program, a Division of NAIM Ministries, Box 39, Delta, BC, Canada V4K 3N5 miller@naim.ca Please contact this ministry directly for ordering info.

Wiconi International presents 4 First Nations Worship Recordings:

Each CD is $16.00(US) plus $2.50 S&H. For more that one tape call their office for shipping costs. They can accept VISA and
MasterCard payments.

1. Jonathon Maracle's, Mohawk, latest release titled, CLEARLY HEAR HIS VOICE. It picks up where RISE UP MIGHTY WARRIOR left off. It's a wonderful blend of traditional style songs with drumming and Mohawk chants,
and contemporary worship music.

2. The second is Steven Tindle's new release titled, HOYANNAH! Stephen, Cherokee, plays Christian hymns on traditional native flute. It is a beautiful, inspiring instrumental, perfect for quiet time or devotions.

3. The third is BRULE PIANO by Paul LaRouche, Lakota. It is a collection of piano music with instrumental accompaniment. This too is a very enjoyable and soothing sound combining piano and Native musical themes.

4. Lastly, one of our most popular recordings, titled RED NATIVITY by Robbie Bee and Paul LaRouche, both Lakota. It is an instrumental combining contemporary instrumentation arrangements and Native drums, chants and styles.

New Music CD:
We are glad to announce another worship tape, blending the traditional cultural sounds of Native America with contemporary sounds to produce a truly edifying “worship” experience. Terry Wildman, of Yaqui tribal descent, has written and performed all the original music on this CD. He and his wife Darlene live on the Hopi Indian Reservation 100 miles north east of Flagstaff, AZ, where Terry pastors a church. "RainSong" is the name of their music ministry. They write on the CD cover, “Rain is so basic and important to life here on planet earth. Many of the ceremonies, songs and dances of the North American Indigenous people focus on praying for rain. Isaiah says that God's word is like the rain that comes from heaven to water the earth and cause life to flourish (Isaiah 55:10-11). May these songs bring God's word into the lives and hearts of all that hear them.” You can order the CD for $15.00 plus S&H from our Internet shopping cart or by calling the office.

Music CD -- Eagle Dancing For the Lord by Pastor Robert Soto and Native New Life Praise Singers is an excellent follow-up to his first CD of Southern Traditional Style Pow-wow praise music. The English lyrics are taken from directly from the scripture. This is a terrific example of utilizing traditional musical styles as praise and worship to Jesus Christ. You will enjoy great pow-wow drumming and singing as praise to God on this new CD. The cost is $15.00 plus S&H.

“God Was Already Here” by Adrian Jacobs, is the title of our first regular tape offering. Adrian is Cayuga from the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy and has been a pastor, Bible school president and teacher, and former Director of the Wesleyan Native American Ministry. This insightful message will help you grasp the fact that God can be seen at work in many Native North American beliefs, legends, and prophecies preparing the hearts of First Nations people for the Gospel long before the first European arrived. It will give you a redemptive view of God’s work among the nations and an appreciation of the cultural expressions for worship being released in the Body of Christ today from the Native Christian community. The cost is $5.00 plus S&H.

'satsang details' - to find out more about doing 'satsangs' in homes, check out there web site for info on that.

"Our group, Aradhna, which means 'worship' in Hindi, had its beginnings in England in August of 1999. My friend Peter Hicks and I met up in London and began creating sitar/guitar arrangements of the Yeshu bhajans (devotional songs to Jesus) that I had learned while growing up in India and Nepal. This live recording called Satsang (pronounced sutt-sung) literally means "gathering of the truth." The concert in Southampton, England, recorded on September 7th, 2003, was a particularly memorable evening as it was the last night of our tour and our final chance to get a good recording for the live album we hoped for. Towards the end of the last song, a little 3-year old girl wandered curiously over to the wall and unplugged the cable that powered everything. The entire recording was lost. After the initial shock wore off, we realized that God wanted us to continue worshiping with whoever could stay. This is the music that followed. Prem mantra hi hai bas teraa, man pe daalaa sabke deraa. "Love is Your key. It is through Your love that You have captured our hearts." May this Satsang draw us close to Him."

TELEGU LANGUAGE HYMNAL:
There is a Telegu language hymnal available which includes some indigenous hymns. However, the hymnal only has the words so far. According to the Pastor (in India)., all of the melodies for the songs are already well known by the people in the congregations. Thus, there is no need for notes. Also, the cost of the hymnal would be greater if musical notes were added. When Alvar Helmes visitsed the church in India in 1998, drums were used to accompany the singing of the hymns. All of the hymns were memorized until this hymnal was printed. Several churches had keyboards, but the melodies they played on them were very, very simple since the players did not have any musical background. Perhaps there are some of you that might be able to help them get music written for these songs, as well? And perhaps one of your churches would be interested in helping to fund the new hymnals which could also include the musical score?

Hymnals are free of charge but they would ask that postage expenses be covered.

Please contact Alvar Helmes to order: 27307 NE 85th Ct., Battle Ground, WA 98604 Fax: 360-666-6861 Email: ironbelt@integrityonline.com

Ashrayam Nee (You Are My Trust) CD
Malayalam language (Indian Ethnic Worship CD)
by Jose J.
********************************************************
From the CD cover: “God has brought Jose from a humble upbringing in Kerala, India and enabled him to produce this first recording in his mother-tongue, Malayalam. (words on CD sleeve are also in English). From a young age, Jose has been blessed with a talent to sing. After his basic education, he went to a well known music academy in Kerala where he studied Carnatic Classical music, the traditional classical style of Southern India. He laid down his musical dreams for 5 years as God directed him to pursue training in Youth With a Mission (YWAM). Jose and his wife work to redeem the arts of India. Recently God has inspired Jose to again pursue his musical dreams. This CD is the result!
Arts With a Mission is a small part of YWAM. We are dedicated to excellent in the arts in order to know God better and to make Him known. We see a great response from people when we use their various cultural expressions to share the gospel. This recording is the first production of Arts With a Mission in P., India. ...God has placed great dreams in our hearts. These dreams include developing teams to specifically reach various Indian people groups, training worship bands, and building a recording studio where worship music can be produced in many different languages.
The proceeds of this recording will go toward the production of Jose’s next worship album in Hindi the national language of India. The arts are such an expressive and creative way to reach people. Pray for our ministry as we reach out to the people of India through the arts!
To purchase the CD, mail your request along with a check or Money Order for $15.00 US to Patricia Hoffman, R.D.#1, Box 163, Harrisville, PA 15038. Please make checks and Money Orders payable to Sarah Banks. Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery

Katuv, (pronounced "kahtoov" which is Hebrew for "written Biblical passage") blends Messianic music with Christian World/Ethnic music styles...
Our desire is to combine Messianic music with ancient Scripture and place them within musical context. If you enjoy listening to uncompromising truths proclaimed by ethereal vocals and backed with world wide, ethnic instrumentation, then you will enjoy listening to our unique music...

With Messianic music, Katuv shares with unbelievers, Jews and Gentiles alike, the truths of God's one and only Son, Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) for He alone is our salvation. We also use Messianic music to reconcile believing Jews and Gentiles together in order to worship in unity.
Through Messianic music, it is our desire to stir within our listeners' hearts a longing to draw closer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob without any of the world's tolerances and or compromises. We are living in ever-changing times with birth-pains intensifying like never before. If there was ever more of an urgency to spend more time with our Heavenly Father, it is now.
In addition, it is our hope that you will be aware and sensitive to the world's pains and miseries. Many cry out in vain, for their sufferings are sheltered from the world. We aim to shed light on these sufferings so they too may have a voice and receive deliverance from their bondage. It is for this reason, we have committed ten percent of our profits from our first CD project (Daniel's Vision) to the International Justice Mission.
As you listen to our songs, we encourage you to meditate upon the lyrics and reflect on developing a closer relationship with our Creator and His Son.

LATINO WORSHIP MUSIC

From Charity Dell: "Queridos Hermanas Y Hermanos--

Here are some great resources for Latino praise music that is NOT simply "Spanish translations of English choruses":

http://www.rejoice-music.com

My favorite spot for Latino worship albums! Y'all just GOT to get "Alabanza al Ritmo del Caribe"! This great sampler album features Christian music done in the
indigenous/folk styles of the Caribbean,so you get to hear reggae, salsa,
salsarengue, flamenco tropical, and other idioms. The album is well
orchestrated, and many of the melodies are simple to pick out and sing. If
you enjoy tight brass and Afro-Latin percussion, you will have songs
a-plenty to dance your praise to God! You can read my review of this album
on both:

http://www.amazon.com and http://www.bn.com

My personal favorite is "Todo te alabe", by the Puerto Rican
minister Luis Prieto--a joyous, cheerful setting of texts from Psalm 148
and 150. This could easily be sung in anyone's church. We will be using
this song this year for our Sukkot festival this Thursday evening (October
31), which, by the way, is also Reformation Day--in 1517, Martin Luther
nailed his famed "95 Theses" to the door of the Wittenberg castle
church on October 31! (So all you Lutheran, Presbyterian, Reformed and
Congregationalist folks will be rejoicing this Thursday...:-) The last song
on this album "Este corito es" is another hot number that would be good for Pentecost Sunday, since it emphasizes the Holy Spirit falling in the "Casa del
Dios". This is a praise chorus sung in Latino churches.

This and many of the other albums by the Rejoice folks include folk
choruses that are sung in Latino Pentecostal churches both in the Caribbean
and in the United States. Bobby Cruz is represented on this album, in the
lovely song "Dios es Bueno" (God is Good)--great lyrics and great
instrumental scoring.

The Rejoice music folks also have these albums with praise music you can
use:

Voz, Palabra Y Jubilo (Voice, Word, and Rejoicing)--by Bobby Cruz. "Fuego" is sung in many Latino churches--good for Pentecost Sunday, too! You'll enjoy the song "Juan en la Cuidad", which is Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son, and Bobby Cruz' salsa arrangement of "O Sifuni Mungu".

Lo Nuevo Y Lo Mejor--Bobby Cruz and Ritchie Ray's old and newer stuff.
Check out these simple praise choruses: "Para sentirte alegre",
Oh!Oh!Oh!", "Abriendo surcos"--a great song about the
church working together to defeat the enemy--good for conga
dancing--"Vino y Aceite"--you'll recognize many of these
choruses.

Here's some other praise albums on the rejoice label that feature Latino
gospel artists:

Alabale con Merengue--with good old Giovanni Rios--the most famous gospel
merengue artist (Check out his website on http://www.giovannirios.com) and other
Christian merengue artists.
My favorite Giovanni song is "Un aleluya, un gloria a Dios".
He has other merengue albums that feature songs that could be easily sung by a worship group.
>
> Rejoice Music also has these albums:
>
Grandes Adoradores I
Grandes Adoradores II--these two albums have a variety of Latino Christian
singers, so you can hear many styles and songs that could be used for worship.
Casa de Alabanza--this has Bobby Cruz and Ritchie Ray's "Vive".
Vive is one of his older praise songs.

> You should also check out Bobby Cruz' fascinating biography on his own
website:
>
> http://www.bobbycruz.com and you can also read up on his partner
Ritchie Ray. They were professional salsa artists prior to conversion, and their high quality
work shines in their Christian albums.
>
> I have found that the Rejoice folks are very personable and their website has both English and Spanish pages--they also have a toll-free number. Their stated purpose was to make
the gospel message accessible to millions of people through the use of indigenous and
folk-based music--a basic prinicple all "musisicianaries" utilize today! One of the reasons the
Pentecostal churches were successful in Latin America was due to the fact that, like their African-American counterparts in North America, the folk music and dance of the peoples was the basis of the worship culture of these churches. Many Latino gospel artists have Pentecostal roots, and this is reflected in their worship music and their
embrace of indigenous sounds and rhythms and the common African heritage
of Carribean cultures. The West African percussive base can be found in Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, English-speaking Caribbean and Brazilian musics--and coming
home to these shores, the black Pentecostal churches of North America. I grew up hearing and playing the polyrhythms typical of black Pentecostal worship, and having a Puerto Rican Pentecostal church rent from us was a great sonic treat--all that blaring brass and hot percussion with more West African instrumentation...praise the Lord and hit the congas!!!

Double CD on 1 disk! 19 songs 13 cultures! $1 benefits World Hunger Appeal.
From the cover of the CD: “Local Musicians Produce Album of Global Church Music” “Two Milwaukeeans, “Dr. Abe” Caceres, noted pianist, composer and ethnomusicologist, and Bob Foley, highly respected bass player and vocalist, are among the five musicians from around the country featured in “Living in Kyros: The Global Church Sings Vol 2”. The recording is an outgrowth of the Global Mission Events (GMEs) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which take place across the country each year. The CD’s 19 selections represent 13 different cultures including Ghana, Kenya, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, Cajun, Chinese, Native American (arapaho), Syria and more. Newcomers to the Christian World Music scene will be delighted by the sounds of African hand drums, steel drums, Arabic tabla and Chinese gongs, and will also appreciate soulful renditions of “Amazing Grace” and “I Love to Tell the Story”.

“We were blessed during these events”, says Dr. Abe, “and we (Kyros) as a group wanted to be sure that the blessings would be multiplied. So we produced the album and decided that $1 of each sale will go to a charity.” The first beneficiary will be the World Hunger Appeal of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA).

“VIBRANT SOUNDS OF MULTICULTURAL WORSHIP” produced by NEW SOUND Publishing, PO Box 28-741, Remuera, Auckland 1005, New Zealand.

“Ever since Moses eyeballed Pharaoh ages ago and made his demand, “Let the people go that they might worship’, the same cry has echoed and bounced around the mountains and valleys, rivers and oceans, deserts and rain forests of the globe. It is an infinitely deep cry for freedom, freedom to worship the creator using the unique treasures and sounds he put there in the first place. A cry from indigenous people, a cry from the land.”
“On Oct. 1, 1992 Scripture in Song celebrated twenty five years of producing praise and worship recordings. The unique expressions seen and heard at that celebration have been captured on this CD. God always intended for the diverse treasure in the people groups of the earth to be used in worship to Him. Here we witness these treasures, hidden from the church for centuries, coming to the light as true expressions of adoration to the one who created them.” David & Dale Garratt
Sounds heard on the CD: digeridoo, Cook Island drums, Indian Tabla, Hawaiian Nose Flute, etc.
