loved it and certainly brings Beltaine to mind when played loved to see that it was not forgotten that women are important in the eternal dance between the wild, naughty and the catching of the fresh nymph of life loved it xxx
About 10 years ago I helped do a tv programme for denham studios (BBC southwest ) about a group like this ( I was the sound recordist ) .... its got me wondering if it is the same group. Definately the same area. We done interviews on the history of it etc.... and they were great people to talk to. Forgot about it all till I see this.... thanks for bringing back some forgotten memories.
I am a music teacher who does a huge dance/movement program in the spring with my 5th graders. We would love to do this dance! Can you tell me where I can find the music? I looked online, but I do not know where the actual song is. I'm also in US. Is it available on iTunes? Can you tell me the name of this dance as well? Thanks!
Gods living in the earth hear us! Really primal sound to the tune. Rudimentary lyric with basic 5ths. Fancy it because of the catchy way the B part to A part comes in half a beat earlier.
Fascinating to see the dancers all blacked up and using the masking traditions of the Black Moors of Africa and still adopting their stick dancing traditions.
