Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour with Mariam Massaro: #646

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #646 is an hour of compelling, dynamic visionary acoustic improvisational music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, 12-string acoustic guitar, 4- and 8-string ukulele, mandolin, double flute and Celtic Harp. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early November of 2025, today’s show begins with the beautiful, meditative “Here In The Beauty”, a prayer of gratitude built on heartbeat Native drum, bittersweet piano motifs, sweeping Celtic harp and decorated with Mariam’s lovely vocal and Native flute dialogue. “Moon’s Light Song” is a deep and mystical raga built around Mariam’s droning 12-string guitar, skipping congas and simple, minimalist piano figures from Bob and “Deep In The Forest” is a bright, upbeat folk song defined by Mariam’s skipping 8-string ukulele and relaxed, prayerful vocal. “Ruby Red With The Golden Slippers” is a song story built on a bluesy groove of driving congas, energetic ukulele, Ray Charles-influenced piano figures and a fun, melodic narrative from Mariam. “Into The Mighty Waves” is a track from Mariam’s “Release” LP radically reimagined into a gospel-folk song and decorated with Mariam’s fascinating, overtone-producing double flute and we complete today’s show with “Oh Soul, May We Touch You Deep Within”, a pretty Neapolitan groove built on Mariam’s 8-string ukulele and thrumming, foundational Native drum from Craig.
