Marilyn Mazur's Shamania: The Birds Are Early Out

Ian Patterson By Ian Patterson

View read count
A modern tribe of female voices—ten in all—that thrives on exploring the rhythms of body, voice and instruments. Shamania, founded in 2015 by drummer, percussionist and composer Marilyn Mazur, brought together kindred spirits from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. From the album Rerooting (CYH Records, 2022), "The Birds Are Early Out" captures the fearless exploratory spirit of a unique ensemble.

Vocalist Josefine Cronholm, alto saxophonist—vocalist Sissel Vera Pettersen, trumpeter Hildegunn Øiseth—who doubles on goat horn—tenor-soprano saxophonist Lotte Anker, trombonist Lis Wessberg, pianist—keyboardist Makiko Hirabayashi, electric bassist Ida Gormsen, conguero-percussionist Lisbeth Diers, drummer Anna Lund, and Mazur, conjure an alluring sonic world that leaves a lasting impression.
