"Tuatha” comes from the Gaelic language meaning “The People.”
Blending the musical and the mystical Tuatha
plays a psychedelic collage of trance dance, world groove, and tribal
fusion that transports the listener on a visually evocative musical
pilgrimage to indigenous lands, shamanic visions, and the realms of the
spirits.
All original compositions on an electro-acoustic blend of strings,
flutes, voices, drums, and percussion inspired by African, Middle Eastern,
Persian,
Arabian, Indian, Eastern European, Gypsy, Latin, Celtic, and Native
American sounds - mixing classical, jazz, rock, traditional and new age
styles
to energize your spirit, move your body, spark your imagination, and
elevate your soul.
"Most interesting and impressive was the atmosphere Tuatha conjured
up on that stage... They changed the very air in Hodi's for their 30-minute
set with their music... One could recall the influence of Caribbean nights,
maritime passages, and various Venetian gypsy markets all packed in a
short 30 minutes."
-- Chris Galis, Scene Magazine
