Blessed We Are - Peia Luzzi

Lyrics:

Blessed we are to dance on this ground,

The rhythm of saints to carry the sound.

We hold a prayer for the earth, for the ones yet to come,
May you walk in beauty and remember your song. Remember why you came here.

Remember your life is sacred.

Peia Luzzi is an American born song collector, writer and multi-instrumentalist based in the mountains of Southern Oregon. Like water from a deep well, she draws inspiration from her ancestral roots of Celtic and Old World European folk music. With the voice of a lark, Peia dances nimbly from Child Ballads and 17th C. Gaelic laments, to Waulking Songs, and Bulgarian mountain calls. She has travelled extensively over the past 10 years to uncover melodies wrinkled and wise with time, labouring to honour their language and stories, while bringing a piece of herself to each song she carries.
