Looking For Love [LP]

Margeeah - Looking For Love [LP]

In July 1983 the Hebrew Israelite vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Margeeah Aharon recorded her debut album Looking For Love with the Kingdom Sounds community band at P.C. Studios in Tel Aviv Israel. Fittingly -- given the meaning of her Hebrew name soothing calm and tranquil -- it's a questing melange of devotional jazz soul funk and reggae. More than just that Looking For Love is an album full of yearning and reflective songs of spirit heart and inner solace. Margeeah was born and raised in the American capital of Washington D.C. She grew up in a Baptist family with Hebrew cultural underpinnings. She was accepted into the Howard University School of Fine Arts as a music major in classical voice and a minor in English. During her Howard years Margeeah's musical and spiritual horizons began to evolve by way of a love of Doug and Jean Carn Keith Jarrett Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway and stretch out towards the infinite. ''Throughout my upbringing and training in classical music my soul and spirit were on a journey'' she explains. ''I began to become aware of social dynamics racism injustice homelessness poverty and disparity. I started to study the isms -- Socialism Communism Buddhism. I was searching.'' Forty years after it was released as a private press LP Looking For Love's central themes and music remain timeless and eternal. A1. Looking For Love A2. Bring The People Home A3. Open Up My Mind A4.
