This is one of my first live renditions of Mahk Jchi by Pura Fe, member of ULALI, a Native American women's acappella group, whose sound encompasses an array of indigenous music including Southeast United States choral singing (pre-blues and gospel) and pre-Columbian music.
+English Translation:
Our hearts are full
and our minds are good.
Our ancestors come
and give us strength.
Stand tall, sing, dance
and never forget who you are
or where you come from.
A hundred years have passed
Yet I hear the distant beat of my father's drums.
I hear his drums throughout the land.
His beat I feel within my heart.
The drum shall beat
so my heart shall beat.
And I shall live a hundred thousand years.

This cover song "Directions" originally written by Nahko and Medicine for the People was performed live by Marlia project in May 2019 at the Collective Movement festival, Cyprus.
Collective Movement is a three-day mind, body, spirit and entertainment event. Our love for nature and life brings us to our 3rd event. During this weekend you will be given the chance to meet the team at Collective Movement. Through our events we aim to develop our connection to nature and therefore have always opted for beautiful outdoor locations. This year we are hosting our event, on 17-19 May 2019, at Tris-Elies, an eco-village in the mountains of Cyprus. We will work with the locals to revive the community while respectfully using their beautiful outdoor spaces to hold the activities, lessons and workshops.

"Άσε τη ζωή να λιώνει μέσα στα χέρια της σαν χιόνι..."
Cover song from Xylina Spathia [Στον Βράχο] by Marlia project
OK so my performance at HUG - Hungarian Handpan & Worldmusic Gathering in Hungary 2019 was over and people wanted one more song.
The stage manager said no.
Szombathelyi Patrik from HUG stepped in and asked him to do one more song.
Hernán Suárez Music was already on stage on calabash and percussion.
Patrizio Castrovinci was already playing flute and hulusi with me in the previous song, along with Vértes Marcell who improvised on trumpet with us.
I asked them to stick around on stage with me, although they had not heard the song ever before and this is result of our improvisation.
Towards the end there is an impromptu moment when I decide to join the crowd off-stage and so you cannot hear the guitar & voice at this point because I took the cable out, finally leading to my return on stage and closing of the song and the performance.
Many thanks to all beings involved to make this happen.

VOICE ACTIVATION workshop
Tauranga, New Zealand
March 2019
We come together in a circle.
We enter a meditative practice, "The Yoga of Sound", exploring the inner workings of the Voice.
Gradually we start to sing with grace and tune in.
Before you know it, we enter a different space inside ourselves, feeling free and open to share our voice and feel our heart.
¬¬ This is a group music game inspired by the ancient Indian alchemy of Raga, by African heritage singing, by traditional Balkan roots and Middle-eastern soul-speaking melodies, where we use the voice as our only instrument.
¬¬ Participants will work with voice experimentation and sound production, improvisation and expression through spontaneous interaction.
¬¬ Within a friendly environment we will have the opportunity to discover the full potential of our voice and reconnect with the music nature that exists within us all, right from the moment we are born.
¬¬ We use the vibrations of our voice's sounds for relaxation, release and self-improvement in our personal journey.
When using correct breathing, we achieve stability, better focus and greater awareness.
¬¬ Conscious breathing causes an emotionally calming effect. It is one of the most effective methods for reducing tension and hyperactivity of the brain.

The idea of this cover song is to mix the traditional Bulgarian 5/8 song about Gyura who goes down to the river with the Medicine song by Rising Appalachia, which is actually a reggae-style song, "honoring the traditions of folk medicine; plant-based medicine as a tool for empowerment and healing.
It is a call to action to support the voices of the herbalists, healers, and teachers… the roots, plants, trees, and stones… the arts, the spirits, and the wild ones.
It is an honoring of all the many ways that we can be well, and the radical and traditional ways in which we can steward health within ourselves.
This song is a direct tribute to the people around the world who are holding and teaching these ways of herbal plant-based medicine, educating us all to know our gardens, our forests, our plants and our own bodies... to bring wellness back into our own hands and communities. It is not a dismissal of modern medicine, but a gratitude and honoring of its ancestry and foundations within folkloric traditions.
As we are moving into a new season, a new time, and a new chapter, we offer this song as a ritual anthem for this transition and time of great change. " ~ Rising Appalachia

This track has been recorded in a single track, single recording, outdoors in the guesthouse's rooftop where I stayed in Varanasi, India last December 2018.
The handpan is a Cm SpaceDrum belonging to my dear friend Benjamin Andersen.
There are sounds & noises within the track from the buzz of Varanasi; I have not attempted to clear the track from the monkeys, the builders next door or my friend's mobile phone ringtone!
I have only added some effects, such as rotor sound and delay to the existing handpan's natural sound.
The whole 20-minute-long song is an improvisation inspired by life and music in Varanasi.

Greetings to the family!
After making the decision to fulfil my current 4-month-long Indian/Asian/NZ tour without any other instrument but my voice, this is what I could come up with during my very-much-indeed musical stay in Pai, Thailand, right after the PanSiam gathering 2019.
In one of our days there with Leon Christian Karmameleon, between open mics, music performances, singing workshops, private vocal lessons, bonfire circlesinging, spontaneous street/stage improvising, scooter riding and hot spring indulging, we met Tommaso Caenazzo (the owner of this handpan @432hz) at our favourite chai shop and thought we could work a bit on 11/8, plus instrument plus voice!
There is a much better video version with regards to the quality of music & sound, however this one is hilarious - at least to me! - so I decided to post this one.
Thanks @Stephanie Bender for the nomination!
I Love You and can't wait to see you at HONA2019!
I nominate the beautiful spirits:

On 23rd December 2018, a group of friends & strangers, students & teachers, Europeans & Indians, got together for an experimental, sacred, high-energy JAMily concert at a vegan restaurant in Varanasi, India. This is an excerpt of our language of music!
At minute 7, on a totally different context, I was inspired to lay down some vocals with lyrics from the Cypriot traditional song "Ela korou na doume ta mavra sou ta mathkia".
The video includes our journey from the guesthouse to the venue with our instruments and our smiles, through holy Ganga river!
Besides our Indian Classical Music studies with our masters during our stay in Varanasi that month, we were inspired to put forward a methodological tool, called THE ELEMENT KEY SYSTEM, which is essentially a sign language for musicians to use in order to conduct one another while improvising with music; and expanded to applications to life itself!
Stay tuned for more info and Element Key workshops throughout Europe in the summer 2019!
Brought to you by artists from Sweden, Cyprus, India, France & Denmark with their Hang Drum, Tabla, Guitars, Tampura, Flutes, Percussions, Voice, etc.
