[Judah Cohen <jcohen...>]

I don't know if I'm repeating information, but Gronich and the Sheba choir
has an entire eponymous album including, in addition to "Memories of
Africa,"  "Chasida (Stork)," "The Journey to Israel," and a fascinating
recasting of the spiritual "Motherless Child."  I think the World Playground
recording takes it track from this album.

I bought my copy from Velvel and Goldie Pasternak; I suspect they're still
selling it at jewishmusic.com.

Judah.
