"Cocoon", the first release of Inna Zhelannaya's in the USA, is based on Russian folk songs. Inna is known for combining electronica, trance and progressive rock with traditional songs from the different regions of her native Russia. Executed with the utmost care for these ancient melodies, meditative "Cocoon" has been acknowledged as a boundary smashing work for Zhelannaya. The CD is co-produced with Trey Gunn and features his playing on several tracks. Inna Zhelannaya was the first world music star in Russia. She was the founder of the group "The Farlanders" which performed in hundreds of prestigious festivals throughout Europe, Asia and the USA. She has been making solo CDs since 2000.
