Stellamara, a local fusion union composed of singer and multi-instrumentalist Sonja Drakulich, string wizard Gari Hegedus and some musician friends, creates an exotic aural world through music that is less earthy and more mysterious than Taj Mahal’s. Stellamara’s style is rooted in Balkan and Middle Eastern tradition, as well as Medieval music. It would be difficult to find an ensemble anywhere boasting a more haunting or seductive vocalist than Drakulich, who grew up in the Armenian community of Los Angeles before moving to the Bay Area. The music on the new CD, The Seven Valleys, feels timeless, like an echo from some now-forgotten culture lost to the veil of the centuries. There is an occasional melody or poem borrowed from the past, but the combination of minor modes, hand percussion, spare instrumentation of voice and strings — including viola and oud — creates a sound that is never less than engrossing. The music makes for truly intimate and personal listening. The echo-laden, cloudy atmospherics are the product of various electronic additions that enhance Stellamara’s seemingly acoustic dream world. They lend a sense of mystery to the songs. Imagine stumbling upon an Eastern European mountain village that had evolved around a monastery with millennium-old religious chants, a place where Middle Eastern musicians had settled alongside Bulgarians, and everyone pooled their musical roots; this new music would be Stellamara. While Drakulich’s bell-clear soprano is the focus, her voice comes and goes in the instrumental arrangements to haunting and beautiful effect.
