    Old Town Center for the ArtsCottonwood AZ (January 5, 2012) – On Friday, January 13th at 7:30 PM HuDost will bring their exploratory sound to the Old Town Center for the Arts.

    The music of HuDost, the Neo Folk World Rock Ensemble from Montreal and NY, weaves a seamless tapestry of sound that renders tears and laughter in listeners. HuDost will perform as the acoustic duo that is Moksha Sommer from Montreal and Jemal Wade Hines from New York.  These two singer-songwriters are the founders of ‘Hudost’ which has developed into a fully produced ensemble.  

    20120105 HuDost Music City RootsTheir new EP, ‘Waking the Skeleton Key’, contains the first songs written by lead singer Moksha Sommer since she underwent brain surgery to have a tumor removed which impacted her language abilities. Music was her primary tool in regaining what was lost and growing as a musician/lyricist. Both her resilience and the fragility of life come through in these songs. The EP also contains remixes of tracks from their last album ‘Trapeze’, produced by Grammy Winner Malcolm Burn, who has produced such icons as Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, and Peter Gabriel. The EP was mixed by Grammy Winner Oz Fritz.

    Bringing to the group a strong musical training background, Sommer has traveled the globe, studying no less than 12 distinctive vocal styles from around the world. Her clear, soaring voice, is matched by the grungy underbelly of Jemal’s guitar mastery and rhythmic propensity. Adding to the group’s musically eclectic and original feel is the unexpected edge the group contributes with its exotic instrumentation that includes harmonium, bouzouki, oud and bendir among others.

    I was talking to the Sedona.biz publisher/editor the other day, Tommy Acosta, and learned that our common friend Fernando Rivera of North Carolina passed away. It was reported that life and time caught him and then overcame him, and his heart quietly and suddenly failed.
