Dora Gola & JaYne: an exploration of ancient feminine wisdom

TWO of our finest voices get together in a new collaborative and bilingual single called ‘Glór na Bogini’ (translates to Voice of the Goddess).

Limerick singer-songwriter JaYne and Irish/Polish artist Dora Gola delve into an exploration of ancient feminine wisdom. 

Sung in Irish and Polish before joining together in English the song is a conversion between Mokosh the Polish Goddess who represents women’s work and women’s destiny, and Danu an ancient Celtic Goddess associated with the natural world and fertility. ‘Glór na Bogini’ is beautifully produced and builds into a world music banger.

Drops on Friday October 4.

“Glór na Bogini” directly translates to “Voice of the Goddess”, a fusion of the Polish and Irish language – “Glór” the Irish word for voice coupled with “Bogini”, Polish for the Goddess. The song is a collaboration between Limerick singer-songwriter JaYne and Irish/Polish artist Dora Gola delving into a brave exploration of ancient feminine wisdom and its relevance in 2024. The listener is taken on a journey into the mystical world through an imaginine of message from; Mokosh the Polish Goddess who represents women’s work and women’s destiny, and Danu an ancient Celtic Goddess associated with the natural world and fertility. These characters are believed to be the highest female “Mother Goddesses” in each of their traditions. Skillfully crafted lyrics sung in Irish and Polish blend sentiments from each eventually joining together in English representing the unification between both cultures. The instrumentation is a collage of acoustic and electronic elements with soaring sensual harmonies as JaYne and Dora’s vocals combine to connect the voices of our female ancestors to the women of the modern world. This piece was commissioned by the Polish Arts Festival
