Light Rain CDS

Doug Adams & Light Rain are considered pioneers of what has come to be known as "World Beat" music. Their four albums, DREAM DANCER, DREAM SUITE, VALENTINE TO EDEN and DARK FIRE, feature Adams’ violin as it weaves sensuous melodies over the rhythms of doumbec and finger cymbals. The compositions were originally written to accompany the dancing of De Ann.

Light Rain’s first album, Dream Dancer, was recorded in 1977 and became an underground hit. Sales of that album soon numbered in the tens of thousands with orders coming in from across the United States and around the world. Dream Dancer was discovered by the Joffrey Ballet who set a dance to some of its music. The Joffrey’s dance, also named Light Rain, became known as their signature work with audiences demanding to see (and hear) it year after year in some of the finest theaters in the world.

After a long break from their mid-eastern musical explorations, in 1993 Light Rain burst back into the world-beat arena with the powerful and exotic CD; Dark Fire. Many consider the deep and sinewy performances captured on Dark Fire to be Light Rain at its very best. It certainly has become Light Rain’s bestseller.

The "Zils" cassette by De Ann features exotic sounds of Zils performed by De Ann.
