About the Album

Treasury of Jewels is Soul Ladder's very first album of exciting and evocative spiritual music. The 26 diverse songs put excerpts from the Baha'i writings to music. The album was recorded during six months of experimenting and playing live at Baha'i events. The Soul Ladder sound is an original blend of acoustic world instruments, orchestral tones, modern and traditional drumming, solo vocals, a capella and choral textures. We sing mainly in English, but have also included songs in Arabic, Estonian and Hindi. Some songs are short and suitable for playing at Baha'i devotionals, Baha'i Holy Days or Nineteen Day Feasts. Others are more meditative built around beautiful passages from the writings of The Bab, Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha. All the songs are previously unreleased. A bonus for this release is that we’ve included 'Light Upon Light', specially written for and performed live at the UK National Baha'i Festival 2005 in Scarborough, England.
