One of several concerts at Celtic Connections 2016 reflecting the currently
hot-button topic of migration b a human phenomenon as old as the race, and
indispensible to our cultural evolution b Pilgrimer reimagines Joni
Mitchellbs classic 1976 album Hejira, whose Arabic title denotes both the
prophet Muhammadbs flight from Mecca to Medina in 622, to escape
persecution, and any flight from danger or hostility. Largely written while
driving home solo from Maine to LA, Hejira meditates profoundly on what one
track calls bThe Refuge of the Roadb, with its flipsides of freedom and
loneliness.
