The wait is over! Bethany and Rufus Roots Quartet's new CD "Live A
Fip" - released in Europe - is a master collaboration between the
group Bethany and Rufus (Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia), Haitian
Percussionist 'Bonga' Jean-Baptiste, and singer/flautist Yacouba
Moumouni. The CD gets its name from the "Live A Fip" radio series,
where they were invited to perform while doing a promotional spot for
Radio France. The song "Iraq" is one that will touch your emotions,
arouse your senses, and open your heart and mind to an experience
beyond measure. Cappadocia's cello sings out, cries out, imploring you
to listen. It is a very powerful track indeed, conveying the sorrow
and plight of an impoverished, enraged land. The erratic, aggressive
cello playing over soft acoustic guitar, gets the song's point across
without uttering a single word.

"The level of musical brilliance reached by Rufus Cappadocia in "Iraq"
left me speechless. His cello becomes reminiscent of mournful sorrow
and wailing cry that extracts emotion like nothing else. This
instrumental piece highlights both music and musician at their
best..."
