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.
