Editorial Reviews
Uptown Magazine, May 18, 2000
"...a lushly produced collection of funk-flavored classic rock, with a huge three-guitar sound."

Product Description
Language of the Heart, the debut CD of Winnipeg super-group, Khem Kharan is nothing short of brilliant. Every track is superbly fleshed out, adding a rarely found emotional depth to the listening experience. This is grown- up music, aimed at music lovers who have sampled some of the range of life's offerings and found themselves waiting for some kind of creative explanation of it all. Musically speaking, tight vocal harmonies underlay the smart, rolling guitar and keyboard licks.

Album Description

The idealistic appeal of "fighting the good fight" against the fascist troops of General Francisco Franco as he warred against Spain's democratically elected government drew more than 45,000 volunteer soldiers from over 50 countries during the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). This influx created a canon of war-related songs sung by the freedom fighters and revived during the American folk boom of the Fifties.

SPAIN IN MY HEART presents new recordings of vintage and recent songs inspired by the conflict and performed by an international roster of musicians. The United States is represented by folk's activist icon, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, master instrumentalist/vocalist John McCutcheon, bluegrass singer/fiddler Laurie Lewis, East L.A.'s Quetzal, multicultural singer/songwriter/actress Michele Greene, and Joel and Jamaica Rafael of the Joel Rafael Band. From Mexico and Nicaragua come vocalist Lila Downs and Duo Guardabarranco, respectively. The Irish volunteers are solo artist Aoife Clancy, formerly of Cherish the Ladies, and Shay Black of The Black Family. Spain itself is represented by two of its leading contemporary singers, Eliseo Parra and Uxía.

The songs here, acoustic-based and many in Spanish, form a surprisingly delicate mosaic. Rather than emulating the strident chaos of battle, the CD conveys more subtle aspects of the conflict - yearning for simpler times ("Asturias," "En La Plaza De Mi Pueblo"); longing for distant loved ones ("The Bantry Girls' Lament"); the equal significance of life, love and death ("Llegó Con Tres Heridas"). The war and the bravery of the anti-fascist forces are addressed in such songs as "Jarama Valley," "El Quinto Regimiento," "Taste of Ashes," and "The Abraham Lincoln Brigade."

No matter in what language the songs are performed, the bravery, pain and loss felt by soldiers and civilians alike are rendered with a conviction and feeling that transcends words and forges an aching link with the listener.

3 out of 5 stars La música bien, la letra no tanto.......2005-05-03

Como hijo de exiliado español agradezco con el corazón que la música de la Guerra Civil Española siga viva dentro del canto del siglo XXI. Musicalmente me parece un trabajo muy completo, con conocimiento y aventura musicales, sin embargo, en lo que se refiere a las letras (lyrics) encuentro el punto débil del CD. Por lo que he podido investigar los textos utilizados son los llegados a los Estados Unidos, pero no los que se cantaban en España y, en ocasiones, la continuidad de las letras es inconexa.

Pongo un ejemplo: Joel & Jamaica Rafael cantan: 'Los cuatro generales, mamita mía, que se han alzado' y en seguida: 'Madrid que bien resistes, mamita mía, los bombardeos'. Esto, en el idioma español no tiene sentido. La letra original dice: 'Los cuatro generales, mamita mía, que se han alzado, para las navidades serán colgados' y la segunda parte: 'Madrid que bien resistes, mamita, los bombardeos, de las bombas se ríen, mamita mía, los madrileños' y de esta forma adquieren sentido pues a los cuatro generales alzados les espera la horca, mientras los madrileños resisten los bombardeos de las tropas franquistas.

Uxía, siendo española, llama 'Marineros' a la canción cuyo título original es 'Que será' y que viene de la canción infantil 'Arrión' y que ironiza sobre el hundimiento del crucero 'Baleares' por la Flota Republicana en la batalla del Cabo de Palos y Uxía no utiliza la letra que dice: 'Y han de ver, y lo van a ver como al 'Baleares', al 'Cervera' y 'Canarias' bajo los mares' lo que le daría el contexto del momento en que la canción surgió.

En fin hay muchas otras observaciones del mismo tipo.

En resumen, me parece que no se hizo una investigación profunda para encontrar las letras completas y correctas de todas estas canciones tan entrañables para todos los que descendemos de la República Española y eso demerita el trabajo del disco en su conjunto. Pareciera que es un disco para venta interna dentro de los Estados Unidos y a mi me hubiera gustado más que fuera para venta universal.

Recomiendo el CD de Oscar Chávez 'España 1936-1939-1975' editado durante 1999 en México por Discos Pentagrama, donde el trabajo curatorial de las letras y la música es sobresaliente.

Rodrigo de Oyarzabal, Ciudad de México.

5 out of 5 stars Keeps Alive the Spirit of Justice and Freedom.......2004-08-06

As the son of a British International Brigade veteran and a Spanish Republican refugee,I grew up with the pain of betrayal, defeat, and exile. Songs helped to sustain us during the long dark years of Franco's dictatorship. This record captures the emotion, joy, and beauty of many of those songs, as well as some new ones, and keeps alive the spirit which took thousands of volunteers from around the world to fight for justice and freedom in Spain.

A really lovely CD from a really lovely Christian singer. Janet has the most beautiful voice.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you Janet for sharing your gift of song and voice!.......1999-10-26

I've just got back from a vaction and while away my aunt passed away after a bout with cancer. She was a warrior for Christ!! This CD is what I needed to hear. I've listened to it, cried during it and rejoiced through it. I hear Janet's voice and it sooths my soul. This CD has renewed my faith in God. Thanks Janet for sharing you gift. And thanks Aunt Margaret for always sharing the word and encouraging us all.

5 out of 5 stars Janet is the best!.......1999-09-04

This CD has several good tracks, but it is worth buying just for "Come See This Man." A lover of Southern Gospel for three decades now, Janet Paschal is our favorite current Christian musician. She writes much of her own music and is extremely talented. Her music never bores--instead it grows on you and is very uplifting and comforting when you're discouraged or hurting. Go for it--you won't regret your purchase!

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL.......1999-02-17

EACH AND EVERY SONG IS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SING IS WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT YOURSELF AND IT SHOWS IN JANET'S SINGING.

5 out of 5 stars Janet pulls my thought and feelings from my heart........1999-01-25

I have loved Janets music for about 13 years now. If she ever stops I will have no more material to sing. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. In CHRIST, Brenda from Wisconsin
