The Meeting of the Waters: Blending Celtic and Mediterranean Music

Panta Rhei [cl. Greek]: all things are in constant flux (Heraclitus, c.540- c.480 BC)

Heraclitus illustrates the persistence of unity through change by the analogy of a river:
"Upon those who step into the same river, different and ever different waters flow down."

The phrase "Panta Rhei" embodies folk music; the constant of distilled songs passed down through time is marked by every new generation.

Diana Rowan’s new CD Panta Rhei celebrates the meditative, joyous and mystical music of the sea-faring Celts and Mediterraneans. Hailing from Ireland and growing up in Cyprus, Diana’s journey is shared with you through exciting, original arrangements of the rich traditional music of both cultures.

“…divine and almost ecstatic! I have listened non-stop for 2 days…”

Harp centered, Panta Rhei is joined by powerful, lyrical world music instruments (oud, lyra, and many others) and vocals performed by renowned Bay Area artists.

“…the combination of both Celtic and Mediterranean is wonderful! I have nothing like it and it will be one of my long time favorites.”
E.M., Massachusetts

Panta Rhei is a must for fans of Loreena McKennitt, Lunasa, Kate Bush, Ross Daly, and Savina Yannatou - you will find a refreshing outlook on traditional material, transporting and unique.

“…just BEAUTIFUL! I love it. Very healing for my soul..”

On Panta Rhei, Celtic and Mediterranean melodies meet, as the peoples have for centuries, bringing new perspectives to each other, and bringing you an uplifting, inspired synergy.

“…very deep and magical...haunting with the Celtic-Mediterranean connection...seamlessly beautiful...”
A.M., California
