CD REVIEW - "Bridge Across The Blue"
Connecting historical parallels among the very personal

and the ethno-cultural
by KATHERINE PARADERO, editor-in-chief

“Bridge Across The Blue” lifts the lid of the American ‘melting-pot’ and presents to you a selection of narratives – often delivered in the very same voices by which they were composed.

Only this time, producers Colm O’Riain and Pireeni Sundaralingam have done the courageous thing and stirred it up a bit before giving you a taste.

Voted by the editors of About.com as among the seven best spoken word / poetry anthologies to add to your collection, “Bridge Across the Blue” explores ideas of migration, and musical parallels, by drawing together many unexpected links across history, ethnicities, and personal journeys.
