	Album Description: Co-written with the legendary David Batteau, a cross-pollination of Latin and North American musical influences that cuts across both genre and language. Perla Batalla's stunning vocals soar above an undercurrent of pulsing percussion and haunting harmony. Transitions from Spanish to English suddenly augment the many hues of these original compisitions, both within the songs as well as from one to another. The aptly titled work draws from a varied heritage. Batalla adds a powerful honesty with her captivating singing that leaves a haunting impression in the heart.

	Lyrics Turtle Island (Celebrating) (Perla Batalla/David Batteau) Left our track On the back Of the floodless Earth Crossed the ice On the night Of the proud hunter Gave our thanks On the banks Of the darkened sea Said a prayer As we carried on Our journey east Were celebrating Our story Were celebrating The new horizon Were celebrating Our story Were celebrating Turtle Island Turtle Island Out of the shadows Came the voices Of our ancestors Out of the cavern Came the whispers Of the native word Out of the prairie Came the fingers Of a hungry wind Out of a vision Came the ocean At the suns rising Chorus (solo) Chorus
