Beltaine's Fire: an amazing patchwork

What do you get when you take a little irish fiddle, a dash of banjo, two parts rap and one part rock? You get Beltaine's Fire: a Celtic Fusion ensemble from the Bay Area that mixes a myriad of genres and influences to create something so unique and brilliant.



I can't say that every song would be considered "pagan", but their music and the musicians themselves are very ethically, socially, morally in line with the Pagan mentality. They speak out against social injustices, corrupt government and humanity's negative impact on the world in general.

I recommend checking them out for yourselves. Lose all the preconceived notions of what you think pagan (or pagan mentality) music is supposed to sound like or that all rap is about 'bitches and hos', because this band definitely ISN'T. All they're trying to do is educate and entertain you, with intelligent lyrics and beautifully crafted music. Think Flogging Molly meets Rage Against the Machine and you'll come pretty close to what they're about, though I think to truly label them is an impossibility because they're one of a kind.

Currently, the lineup for Beltaine's Fire is:

Emcee Lynx: Rap Vocals
Laura Noel: Electric Bass
John Dougal: Electric Banjo
Steve May: Fiddle & Mandolin
