OBSIDIAN BUTTERFLY BY ALICE GOMEZ, MARILYN RIFE, MADALYN BLANCHETT
On OBSIDIAN BUTTERFLY the San Antonio Texas trio of Alice Gomez, Madalyn Blanchett and Marilyn Rife have created music inspired by the ancient rhythms and melodies of North, Central and South America. In the Aztec culture, "Obsidian Butterfly" is one of many female deities associated with the earth and its fertility. The music on this recording was created in celebration of the various splendors of the earth. Flutist Gomez is joined by various percussion instruments including marimba, wind chimes, rattles, congas, bongos and pow-wow drums. Weaving rhythms of the ancestors with Gomez's original melodies, OBSIDIAN BUTTERFLY gracefully spreads its wings and flies.
