Carvin Knowles
Hamsa

World music and electronica. Music from the Crossroads of the World. Hamsa means, simply, five. It is believed by some to be the hand of God. To others, it is the hand of some great holy lady of miraculous power such as Miriam the sister of Moses or Fatmeh, daughter of The Prophet. But to whomever the hand belongs, it has one purpose: it keeps away the Evil Eye, reflecting back the envious green-eyed glances of the stranger. Ironically, as protection against the outsider, it has become a signpost to the great crossroads, a symbol of that place where East and West touch.

CD Baby

If you like any of the music you are listening to, please support the artists as well as this site by purchasing CDs through the links on this page from CD Baby.

I know, CD Baby is a weird name, but they're a wonderful group of people who are the largest seller of independent CDs on the web. They love music and listen to every CD before they sell it. They only deal directly with the musicians, not corporate distributors, so the independent musicans can earn as much as $6 - $12 per CD, rather than the $1 or $2 they would normally get through a distributor.
