GRANDMOTHER
TURTLE
Carolyn Hillyer
An
album of powerful and evocative songs which describe a circle
of thirteen greatmothers of wisdom. Each of the thirteen
hold a key to an aspect of our inner landscape - woman as
warrior, guardian, creator, mystic, myth-keeper and creature
of the wild. Woman collecting the fragments of ancient memory,
resonating with earth rhythms, pushing to the raw edges.
Bone Hill Hag, Fire Pit Singing, Good Mother Honey and Shaman-Ca.
The
instruments used are primarily frame drums and rattles;
also feature are kalimba, didjeridu, flutes and some keyboard
arrangements by Nigel Shaw. Recommended for dance and song-circles.
Total album duration 67 minutes.
Grandmother Turtle is available on CD for £13
