Music Review: OshunGaia
Artist: Amikaeyla Proudfoot Gaston & Ariana Lightningstorm
Tales of the Serpent Women & Faerie Child
Ancient Indigenous Chants & Original Songs from global traditions & Spiritualities
Oshun Gaia: a collaborative to create a collection of music honoring the Goddesses Oshun and Gaia. For those of you not familiar with these Goddesses, Oshun is the Orisha Goddess of fresh water, the energy of bounty, blessings, home, and hearth. The Goddess Gaia is known as Mother Earth. While listening to this cd I found a delightful mixture of chant, drumming, fluting, and beautiful voices. Amikaeyla and Ariana were able to use their talents to call upon the spirits through beautiful harmonies from many traditions and ancestral rituals. My favorite song from this grouping is “21 Praises of Tara” Perfect music for group gatherings. I give this collobration 4 Stars ****
Guests artist: Jaqui MacMillan, KIVA (Diana Sunday, David Landis, Diana McFadden, Jim Brewster, Tigre Cruz, Tim Sauerwein), John Wubbenhorst, Ken Anoff, Daveed Korup, Wynne Paris, Tom Wolfe, Aaron Starr, and Anowee
