"Whirling Passion" original music and choreography by Tahja
"Whirling Passion" original music and choreography by Tahja
This song started as a simple three chord song written in the car in the early 90's on the way to a performance as a song to play before going on break for the band “YaSalaam”, our world music ensemble performing music in 34 different languages from 40 diverse cultures,
Referred to as “Break Song”, we played a more expanded version at the end of a show to feature each musician as they were individually introduced. I never imagined the song would one day become a performance piece.
When I added dancers to our show, the dancers also needed to be introduced, so I choreographed “Break Song”. Inspired by the Sevillanas folk dances of Spain, combined with the sensuality of belly dance movements and whirling skirts of dancing gypsies, my desire was to express the beauty of individuality concurrent with the joyful synergy of group dynamic creating a kaleidoscope of whirling colors. Thus the name of the song was changed from “Break Song” to “Whirling Passion”.
I am delighted to share with you the music and dance of “Whirling Passion”, to remember the beauty of all the transitions and seasons of our lives: from the fast and furious, to the quieter moments of the “taqsim” (rhythmless solo) which bring us deeper within ourselves, and the rhythm of the drum that ties us to our own heart beat.
Dedicated to my mother who transitioned to the Great Beyond: we are all connected in this life of Whirling Passion.
I hope you enjoy my first music video and feel free to share it with your friends.
