Pagan music - Zorah Staar makes "pagan pop"
Zorah Staar is a songwriter, singer and musician who makes "pagan pop" or "radically uplifting pagan music that bops you across the dance floor, along with some powerfully loving ballads to catch your breath."
Zorah's songs blend lyrics about love, the earth, Goddess, God, and other age-old pagan themes with wild new pop and rock sounds. Imagine an infectious fusion, joyfully played by Zorah (on guitar and piano) and the other magical musicians on her "pagan pop" CD (Adrian Schamberger, who's played with the Rheostatics and many others, and John Hildebrandt, formerly with the Celtic funk band "Mad Pudding" and Alpha Diallo).
And now there's a new Zorah Staar CD - from a musical movie-to-be called "The Goddess Blew a Bubble" (listen to Zorah's newest song from the musical, a world-reaching eco-rocker (wait for it) called "Just a tree"). "The Goddess Blew a Bubble" is a bold new rock musical, like "Jesus Christ Superstar"" but gone pagan on a tiny island of Canadian rainforest. Imagine an intense but funny, magical story about a woman from the big city who washes up on the sand, carrying a pain too big to heal. Ancient shimmering energies invite her into a world where action AND spirit together make the greatest strength. But no world feels safe, if you're dogged by creatures of your past, and by those bent on destruction. The CD of the musical's 20 songs tells the tale, and also stands on its own as a radically healing, new collection of "pagan pop".
We invite you to go to What's New to find out more about this new musical and hear two more excerpts from the new "The Goddess Blew a Bubble" CD, or to listen to Zorah's earlier "pagan pop" CD,, and (of course) to buy a CD or two if it pleases you. And in the meantime, blessed be to all you beautiful sparks out there, drumming and singing, laughing and loving, healing and growing and transforming our world!
