dance:dream:dance (CD)

A World Groove Odyssey

Rhythmic movement flows across landscapes and cultures, waking and dreaming without barriers. The language of dance is one. And when it comes to defining the world dance scene, Shaman's Dream is an unparalleled innovator. With dance:dream:dance, global-groove artists Rara Avis, Amani Friend, Jason Hann, Craig Kohland, and Micheline Berry take you on a world ethnotronica odyssey that will sweep you up in a wave of trance dance and dreamtime ecstasy. Marked by the evocative indigenous sounds and deep visionary grooves that have become the signature of Shaman's Dream, dance:dream:dance offers a cross-pollination of musical dance cultures and ambient soundscapes blended with hot electronic dance beats.

Shaman's Dream is Craig Kohland's multi-faceted musical project. The music, which is beautifully ambient and world beat orientated, lends itself well to yoga, meditation, healing, and ecstatic dancing. Shaman's Dream can take on many shapes and has involved a multitude of talented musicians.

The driving force inside Craig Kohland is the healing rhythm of the drum. He is a talented multi-percussionist, drummer and world music producer. Like his heart, he is always beating his love for life and the creative expression of the sacred.

Rara Avis has brought a background in blues, jazz, classical, and ethnic music to compositions for theater, dance, yoga, and more.
