One kingdom, one ruler, the strength of one woman to conquer them all!

Al Conti's third album is his most compelling and seductive album yet. Listeners will find the songs captivating and haunting with Middle Eastern/World drums and melodies - you can almost smell the sweet scent of incense in the air!

In the timeless winds of the desert night begins one womanâs brave journey to life. Through the wisdom of 1001 tales, Scheherazade will free herself from the tragic fate of the women who have preceded her. The destiny of all women now rests on her courage and strength.

From the first note to the last, Al Contiâs album brings together exotic instruments such as the hurdy gurdy, udu, sitar and tablas as well as violins and cellos, moving ambient vocals and soulful guitar solos. Ranked at the top of the New Age charts, Alâs music has now become a favorite of many radio stations, reviewers and a growing number of fans.

Al Conti is a recipient of two ASCAP Awards for his work. His album Poeta was used as part of NPR fundraising efforts in 2007 and his recording Quest for Orpheus, from the same album, received a âBest of 2007â Award from Mystic Soundscapes Radio. The album Poeta entered the New Age Reporter âTop 100â Chart at number 44 in July, 2007, headed the âTop 10 of 2007â lists at KCCK Radio and Origen Music, and was a featured selection at WMNR Radio in Connecticut in April 2008. Reviewers have praised Alâs work as âdelicious, peaceful music,â âintricate,â âpersonable,â and expressing a âlovely humanity and positive spirit.â In 2008, Al Conti joined Kevin Bacon, Jessica Alba, Will & Grace's Shelley Morrison and other celebrities lending his name to the Until Thereâs A Cure foundation to help raise funds for HIV/AIDS awareness and research.

A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Al has appeared in many theatre productions as well as television commercials and shows such as CBS' daytime drama 'As The World Turns.' Al began seriously working on music 17 years ago, but it was not until a near death experience that he undertook music full time. Al comes from a family of deeply talented individuals. His grandfather was a concert pianist while Al's mother was a ballerina and his father a professor and poet. His extended family includes the late 1800's Argentinean famed writer Miguél Cané. As a result, Al has been surrounded by an eclectic blend of music, literature and art since he was very young.

Through deep reflection and an awareness of the world around him, Al transfers emotions and images into music that soothes the soul.

Al currently divides his time between New York City and Vermont.
