Burning Truth's latest CD celebrates the intrinsic connection between
music, song and dance. The music was inspired by the art of fire dancing
as well as oriental dance (otherwise known as belly dance). This unique
style of music, gypsy-rock fusion, has Romani influences from Spain to
Hungary.
Melodic acoustic-based sounds are blended with a world beat featuring
lyrical and musical vocalizations, acoustic guitar, cuatro, and features the
drum-jedi percussionist Josh Orient displaying his multi-faceted skills on
doumbec, cajon, tablas, and pakhawaj. Also featuring vocals by
Luminara and Azayam. Didjeridu on track 9 by Azayam.
1. Shakti Awake! 6. Like A Thick Haze
2. The Cosmic Dance 7. Dance, Dance, Dance
3. Gypsy Groove 8. My Beloved
4. The Circle Is Opening 9. Journey Back To The Void
5. Walkin' Down The Road

| THE COSMIC DANCE |
Terry The Troubadour is the musical impetus that infuses the sound of Burning Truth.
He can most often be found at festivals and fairs playing his romani inspired music in
live performances of Fire Dance Theater.
However, Terry didn't always dress up in a top hat and tails and play gypsy music for
beatiful fire dancers. In his earlier years, he was content to sit around a camp fire in his
jeans and fleece jacket and play his folk-rock songs for family and friends. Then, in
January of 2005 he moved from the rugged mountains of Montana to the misty, magical
Oregon coast where he met fire performance artist, Luminara.
When Luminara first danced with her fire poi under the moon light while Terry played his
guitar, they felt a resonation within. This would be the spark that would ignite Burning
Truth, inspire their latest CD "The Cosmic Dance", and transform Terry's music into
something truly moving.
While at a gathering in Portland, Terry heard a haunting sound that gripped his heart
like two lovers in a firm embrace. It was a gypsy minor scale being played on a
mandolin. “This sound awoke something inside of me, an ancient memory perhaps,” says
Terry. The gypsy scales would prove to be a perfect match for fire dance.
Now, the music has evolved into a sound that is completely original – and has come to
be known as “Gypsy Rock Fusion”. Some say it sounds like flamenco, others say exotic
rock. But it's more than that, drawing on Gypsy influences from Spain to Hungary and
beyond. Terry the Troubadour has traced the ‘Gypsy Road’ to its’ roots, enabling him to
capture the feelings and attitudes of the Romani people and their music while adding a
modern context of american folk and rock. Terry plays acoustic guitar, cuatro (Latin
guitar), and doumbec (Arabic style hand drum), adding lyrical and musical vocalization.
Featured on The Cosmic Dance is Luminara with powerful lead vocals on "The Circle Is
Opening" and "My Beloved" and hauntingly beatiful vocalizations on "Shakti" and
"Gypsy Groove". Also featured on percussion is the multi-talented hand drummer, Josh
Orient, exhibiting skills on the cajon, tablas, doumbek, and pakahwaj. Performance
artist, Azayam, brings soothing back up vocals on "Walkin' Down the Road" and her
didjeridu as the primordial ooze in "Journey Back to the Void".
Terry the Troubadour and the CD, The Cosmic Dance, are sure to take you away on a
dream journey into the world of Gypsy.
