Folkloric dance music from the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Passionate, lively, beautiful music played entirely on traditional instruments, evoking the spirit of many different musical and dance styles from both sides of the Mediterranean
Bio / Background
Beside the fire, as the wood burns black, a laughing dancer in veils of light, whose dance transforms the darkness to gold - Abu Abd Allah ben Abi-l-Khisal, drawn from Serpent of the Nile, by Wendy Buonaventura
Dance and music predate civilization, and are deeply rooted in the innermost core of what it is to be human. Our resonance with rhythm begins with the mother's heartbeat; movement and music seem natural extensions of this, common to all cultures worldwide.
For this recording I have drawn inspiration from numerous music and dance traditions surrounding the Mediterranean, as well as from farther East, to the borders of India. The sounds from these lands are rich, exotic, and exciting, providing much fuel for the fire of the musical imagination. I have written original dance music that I hope both expresses the flavor and spirit of each culture represented on this CD, and will inspire others to seek out more of this music, and perhaps create new dances of their own.
