WITH YOU WE PRAY 🌙
A pagan prayer that proposes to be recited and reverberated in unison, in canon, in spoken word, here with reference to the great Uruguayan thinker, Eduardo Galeano, and in all the musical formulas that human nature reaches, so that it may illuminate the paths of all beings that depart their countries with nothing, fighting for their own survival. Patterns of war practiced for millennia that must be ended now.
An international collaboration started with the challenge made by Beyond Music, with RAUSHAN ORAZBAEVA in one of the most unique instruments in the world, the KYL KOBYZ, played by one of the strongest references of our time. Raushan technique radiates the magical power that her ancestors in Kazakhstan put into the instrument when they held it. The instrument sounds like a living being in her hands, seeming to “talk”, and represents the richness of people's souls and the colors of this world.
Also with the extraordinary GIOVANNI KIYINGI, a Ugandan folk singer-songwriter and world music artist. He is known for his skills as a multi-instrumentalist who plays the local Ugandan fiddle Endingidi, Akogo, Adungu, Guitar, Endere, Djembe, Calabash, Congas, Engoma, and Maracas, among others. He was one of the Ugandan artists chosen to welcome Pope Francis to Uganda at Kololo on 27 November 2015.
Co-produced, co-arranged and co-inspired with JUAN BARALLOBRES from Argentina. Juan Barallobre's music is about the depth and mystery of life and all the things around it. His target with music is to mobilize people's hearts and bodies. Juan is the composer and producer of his own music and is also producing other music artists, films and theatre. Piano player, synthesizers, keyboard and indian harmonium. For Juan, the contact with artists from different places and histories make the music and the messages within grow much faster.
THANK YOU SO MUCH dear companions from praying with me, for accept this challenge, initially focused on the Beyond Music project, and for all the bless and love! Thank you also to Beyond Music for connecting us ♥
