Calling All Dawns consists of twelve songs in twelve different languages. It is a narrative told in three parts–day, night, and dawn–about life, death and rebirth. Each song flows seamlessly into the next, and the album ends on the same chord that it opens with–thereby representing the fluid, cyclical nature of the universe. It carries a strong message of unity: that regardless of race, culture and religious belief, we are all connected through our common human experience:
