Track: The Hazel Wood ( $0.28 )

Album: Alive On Pentecost

Artist: Damanta

“"Hazel Wood" is a song that's sure to create a fire in the head...once you hear it, it will burn through your psyche. And it's one of the few newly minted songs in the Irish/Celtic genre that has staying power of Silly Wizard's "Queen of Argyll." Multi-talented Canadian singer-songwriter-composer of the Irish folk group, Damanta, Elegwen Ó Maoileóin wrote: The line for Hazel Woods was stolen by Yeats as well from mythology — it's a very old line, the fire in the head, from the druids. The group Damanta's name, is derived from an old Irish word, Damned. It means damn or deadly, which is way 'cool' in Ireland. They say, "Tá damnta é," "He is deadly." Elegwen says the band name came from a Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill poem. Various members of the group hail from Vancouver, Belfast and Dublin Ireland. Check out "Alive on Pentecost." It's a bit like Ashley MacIsaac and Planxty, Tannahill Weavers and Silly Wizard all rolled into one. Damnta fine. http://www.myspace.com/damantaofficial ”
