about
Composed on the beach in Florida, under a full moon, my song-sisters walking the sand by my side, "La Sirene" is just what is sounds like: a celebration, a prayer.
In Haitian Vodou, La Sirene of the Lwa is the wife of Met Agwe, he who pilots the ship of the dead. All the treasures of the ocean belong to her, and she is said to take precedence in your life if you aren't taking enough time for yourself. Mambo T of Chicago says she's lovely, and my limited experiences of her have led me to agree.
About the recording: the shaker you hear is actually a salt shaker full of sea salt. Also, my clay pot Udu drum has its first outing since the recording of "Neptune" in this song.

lyrics
I pray to La Sirene
she who calls the waves her own
I pray to La Sirene
I pray to La Sirene
I dance for La Sirene
she who calls the waves her own...
I sing for La Sirene
she who calls the waves her own...
I sing for La Sirene
I sing for La Sirene
I pray to La Sirene
final tag:
I sing for La Sirene
I dance for La Sirene
I pray to La Sirene
counterpoint 1:
sirens sisters singing low
show me how your gardens grow
tell me how how the current flows
teach me how to breathe below
let what flows through me prove as true
as roll of ocean under moon
