Cari’s music inspires us to live the vision of a new dream;
the dream of heaven on Earth. Inspired by author Don Miguel
Ruiz's book,The Four Agreements, The Circle of Fire CD is
rich in instrumental texture but beautifully spacious, honoring
the integrity of its songwriting, which suggests a timelessness
such as Carole King’s “Tapestry” or Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”.
Producer Paul St. James has created a definitive soundscape
for a music that transcends trend and a record that is highly
accessible while remaining true to its authenticity and intent.
Rooted by Cari’s exquisite piano, acoustic guitar and sonically
pure vocals, the CD hosts a spectrum of fretless bass,
ambient guitars, gypsy violin, native American flute, and
melodic drums and percussion that flow throughout.
