Lights of Laniakea is World music that weaves vocal tapestries and joyful melodies for a stirring musical treat.

Teaming with 2015 GRAMMY®-winning producer Ricky Kej, Kathy Sanborn combines her trademark silky vocals and heartfelt compositions with Kej's consummate production skills to create a groundbreaking form of World music in Sanborn's seventh album, Lights of Laniakea. A true cross-cultural collaboration, Lights of Laniakea introduces a fresh and inspiring perspective to the genre of World music.

Sanborn says, 'Lights of Laniakea is packed with cheerful songs and positive energy. Always an optimist, I wanted to share my upbeat vision for the world in Lights of Laniakea, and Ricky Kej was the ideal producer to bring my compositions to life.'

Just what is Laniakea? Back in 2014 at the University of Hawaii, scientists mapped a new supercluster that contains our own galaxy, the Milky Way. They named it Laniakea, which means, 'Immeasurable Heaven.' The album, Lights of Laniakea, describes our universal desire to live in the light - in the 'immeasurable heaven' that is our home.

The album contains twelve songs with engaging grooves, all composed by Sanborn. Kej adds his own magical touches to each track, resulting in works of art that the listener will want to experience again and again.

Lights of Laniakea is World music that will expand your own musical universe with peaceful pleasure.
