Below the mists, above the brambles
2009
Mater Dea was born when two musicians, Simon Papa and Marco Strega, engaged in a remarkable collaboration. Coming from very different musical traditions, they nevertheless share a common passion for the dreamy, haunting and rarified ambience of Celtic music. In their first album “Below the Mists above the brambles”, MaterDea blends the magic atmospheres of ancient music with very powerful rock beats. In their songs the flavour of natural elementals, marvellous creatures and fantastic stories carry the listener to a surreal dimension in which he gets in contact with the ancient cult of the Great Mother.
Special guest of this album is the accordionist John Whelan, featuring in the beautiful ballad "Another trip to Skye" here reinterpreted with original lyrics written by MaterDea.
