Channelling ancient bloodlines and breathing new life into old stories.
The Cloud Maker’s music celebrates goddesses from each of the five female master musicians’ cultures. Channelling ancient tales of fierce battles, shaman dances, journeys to the afterlife, and a moth goddess singing the most beautiful song of all time, The Cloud Maker harnesses the power of these archetypal stories to transport listeners, using instrumental mastery to weave a tale of love, terror and power… Panghalina sing us jazz from the future, blending instrument and voice into spun textures that glisten and refract a duality of sonic expression.
