Track By Tracks: Fleur De Feu - Weep (2025)

1. How Shall I Begin My Song?:

This introduction piece is adapted from a poem by Owl woman, a Cheyenne medicine woman who lived in the 19th century. It marks the beginning of a shamanic journey.

It features Italian musician Jacopo Andreini on yayli tabur.

2. In the Great Night:

This song is also adapted from Owl Woman’s writings. Here she pursues her journey into the night as a shaman. It features cellist Matthieu Safatly, who recently joined the Fleur de Feu collective.

3. Weep:

Weep is an adaptation of part of a poem by Al-Khansa, one of the most influential poets of the pre- islamic period (7th century). It is an invitation for us to shed tears if we feel the need to.

4. My Hand:

My Hand is a tribute to our ancestors. It evokes the fact that even on a physical level they continue to live through us since, for example, Dominique (Fleur de Feu’s founding member) shares a likeness with her father.

It is also an invitation to make life out of death.

5. Mother:

Dominique expresses gratitude to her parents and to Mother Earth for her existence and her senses.

6. White Feathers:

White Feathers is the third and last adaptation of a poem by Owl Woman.

It features special guest James De Backer on lap steel guitar.
