Feathered Dove by Culomba
Culomba (which means “Dove” in the Corsican language) celebrates the diverse and universal human experience of singing. Inspired by rigorous study and personal experience with many different singing traditions, Sophie Michaux, Adam Simon, Lysander Jaffe, Sora Harris-Vincent, and Avery Sherman came together to bring this music to new audiences. We each draw on our own musical passions and expertise, with repertoire spanning American folk traditions, music of Georgia, Corsica, the Balkans, and South Africa, early music, and original compositions. Feathered Dove, our first album as a quintet, takes its name from Adam’s original song featured on this album.
