Mystical Music with Celtic and Moorish Influences

Loreena McKennitt is from Canada and most well-known for her music with Celtic and Moorish themes. Loreena incorporates visiting such travel destinations which inspire her music. Places such as Ireland, Spain and Morocco.

Loreena was introduced to me when I heard “Huron ‘Beltane’ Fire Dance” playing early one morning on the ABC radio in the very early 1990s. I was awakening from a deep sleep and the celtic sounds shook me to attention! I have since seen Loreena in concert and had her sign a couple of my CDs. The concert was magical. Candles lit the stage and the talent of this woman, left me in awe. She sang, she played the harp, the accordion and various other instruments and it totally drew you in. I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do.

      Judging by this performance seeing her live would really be an experience ~
      Where did you see her live?

      It was in Melbourne in 1995. I went alone because no one knew of her then and no one was interested in being dragged along! It did not matter that I was there alone. It was one of the most magical concerts I’d been to and would love to see her again. Still hoping she’d come to Oz again some time! Glad to have introduced her to you. :-)
