Name: BLACK SHAMAN - Here We Go Again by Marc Marcel
Duration: 5 min 50 s
Description: Marc Marcel 21st studio album Black Shaman takes us on a ride through mystical rebirth.

A little backstory about this set... When I first got booked to play Tale of Iele I was beyond honored. I got right to work researching the area of Transylvania, the specific medieval citadel I'd be playing in, and of course the myth of the Iele, in order to truly grasp a feel for and establish the sound of which I wanted to embody. I wanted it to be sexy and dark, a little creepy, but still fun and danceable, while remaining true to my world music style, and as always, I wanted to tell a story. So I started drafting what would be v 1 (of perhaps 1000) of the poem heard at 3 points throughout the set. I was lucky enough to recruit the help of talented wordsmiths and friends @poetcalledl and @the_real_ja_rite to assist me on my conquest. Truly I cannot thank these two special humans enough for their talent, creativity, collaboration, and above all, their patience. It was a much more arduous task than I'd imagined, and being a perfectionist, I would catch myself nitpicking the tiniest words or grammatical nuances. But, in the end, I couldn't be more happy about the outcome, so I truly thank you both for making my vision come to fruition.  I hope you all enjoy it!

The Tale:
There once was a land, many moons before our time
Transylvania it is called today
known for the seductive and sublime
 
At its highest mountain peak stood a fabled fortress, 
Citadel Rupea, as it is known
And it is the place that the seed of this sacred story is sown
 
On the 23rd Eve of the month of June,
The fortress watchmen spotted women in white
With flowers in their hair, and hardly a care, 
they danced a greeting to the night
 
He recognized them as the mythical Iele, thought only to be a tale
In which, it is said, to not join in their joyous dance could cause a man’s heart to fail
 
He became entranced by the wondrous women; 
as the surrounding air turned increasingly erotic. 
They were devastatingly beautiful and their song… 
was hauntingly hypnotic
--
Soon enough, the dancing came to a halt
As if they’d detected the watchman’s gaze, 
They turned to him with eyes of fire 
Condemning him in horrific ways

They took to the air and flew toward the moon 
leaving the watchman behind
And in that final moment He knew 
The Iele had rendered him deaf, dumb and blind
--
We gather here on this 23rd Eve of June 
to take our own chilling chance
So heed the call when the Iele look your way,  
and dare not deny their invitation to dance.

Our beloved friend Tiago, hitting the spaceship’s cockpit with elegance — delivering, as always, above expectations. He sent all of us into a proper (macizo) rhythmical cardio dance session aboard this nave..
