INSIGHTS FOR SONG SELECTIONS ON MY KING NIMROD
Beth The Sybil’s songs are inspired by ancient existing melodies and texts from various cultural traditions around the Mediterranean. Even in these early times musical traditions impacted others, creating a marvelous and exotic interweaving of sounds. Many songs were written, performed and passed down orally by women, long before church officials silenced their voices, leaving us with an imagined male-only legacy in Western music.

My King Nimrod is a song which emerged in both Sephardic(Spanish/Jewish) and Moroccan communities. King Nimrod is the great grandson of Noah who sees the sign in the sky that reveals Abraham’s starlight birth. The Moroccan version celebrates the foretold birth of the Christ child and Beth takes the stories further to remember our future; the awakening of starlight consciousness in all peoples of earth.
