HAPPY TO BE ME
You are living in a bubble! someone once told me.. Yes i am, in a matter of fact that's true... for some people it is something new
And you think only of yourself! Life is not a holiday you know! wow... they sound furious... You Should become more responsible and serious
Hey hey hey.. be happy and shine, we are a living form representing the divine...
Life can be a joyful game.. why should I copy the miserable and be as unhappy as them?
We should all enjoy the precious moment right here right now.. everything will come, we will survive somehow
If we vibrate high enough things get better, things transform, our lives become greater
I decided to change my goals, change my standards and have faith in something... that's when good things started happening
I suppose all the hard times full of lessons were meant to be.. now i deserve to live a cool life of truth & clarity
Of freedom, of happiness, of love & simplicity where emotions mingle with thoughts of Ecstasy
success has a new meaning with new kind of results... life has become easier believe it or not
I left everything and went to India! My Mom freaked out, was worried I'd become too spiritual or catch a Bacteria
Windows opened to show ways to the light... I felt more secure..learned for myself what's wrong for me and what's right
I became eager to fly to new continents of new traditions.. explore the world of new cultures & religions
socialize, make love & music along the way.. more fun than studying all day
In a dark classroom with bright neon lights, unhappy teachers and students full of fright
I know that travels give me no degree or certificate but do I really need one? would it make me more significant?
When it comes down to the crunch I'd love to have much more money... If I had a few thousands it would be so cool and funny
everyone who ever knew me would be suddenly quiet.. if i was thin, they'd think I was in a diet
if i was waring colourful cloths they'd think I'm hip & cool.. they'd know I could afford a big house with a pool
If I had long hair & a beard strumming a guitar all day singing songs all day, they'd think I'm so lucky not needing to work in any way
But as long as I'm skint and poor .. it makes them feel guilty, nervous and unsure
Obviously he is asking for money they'd think.. otherwise why is he visiting us, he has no place to sleep and he stinks
Only fools can criticize someone like me who went a long way through detachment to experience a life so free
Fools think it's not fair for others to live a kind of life they wouldn't dare
"why should he live in pure delight?".. " We have suffered so much.. never done what we always liked!"
"We never followed our own dreams so why should he? and what kind of influence on our children would he possible be?"
"He would show them everything we fight against! We don't want more people to throw their lives away to waste!"
Really there is no point convincing the Sad & Angry... I will only loose... waste time and it would leave me unhealthy
I'd rather find new places were people really dig me, would find me fascinating! would support & inspire me
Indeed, following our hearts bring immediate results that rule!! I wish I learned this simple fact in old school
I thought it was cool to smoke cigarettes and get drunk, chase chicks and dance to the pop trash and hip hop funk
I thought all i needed was work & education, to build a long career based on intellectual qualification
I thought I needed to read newspapers and watch T.V, dress in grey like a banker and feel like a V.I.P
Maybe then people around me would feel more relaxed , seeing me with money and a lady with legs of wax
But this urban maze doesn't impress me.. I'd rather be a hippy swimming naked in the sea
with coconuts above... under the stars making love.. with girls full of flowers in their hair.. around the fire cooking food to share
I'd love to live in a dream like the tribal people did.. living in the forest picking herbs, chewing weed
I love talking about life, about the perfect faith.. without fear of dogmatic religious forces trying to control the entire human race
I'd rather be truly free and truly happy.. not attached to a language or a country..
fulfill myself entirely as a human on this earth.. breath clean air, experience childhood & rebirth
live in nature and let nature be my guide.. have faith, clarity, bliss & peace of mind
sha la la la la!!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!!!
TRAVEL FREE
if i knew what i know now i would travel since I was 18, or even before if my parents were cool enoughj\
the only thing difficult is to learn how to be on yr own and not miss your loved ones because you do end up not seeing everyone you love, sometimes for more than a year, I havn't seen my sister and all my loved ones in Israel for 3 years now.. that's a long time
My parents are anything but rich, they are actually poor, always were, that in itself is a pressure because they have always expected money.. luckily they are still alive, I still have a chance to give them this support I thought I would one day give.
I am not famous, but many people know me.. like a fan base in many places in the world, because that's one of the purposes of my travels- to create local fan bases.. everywhere I go i share my music, make soul friends, they always ask when i'll be back next, I say next year, and try to keep my promise, I try to travel to the same places, create cycles, keep coming back to the places I have loving friends.. I book shows everywhere I go.. this year I don't go to India.. but I will go to spain and Israel, hopfully Mexico and for sure California and Vancouver.. other places I can't wait to go is Japan, Africa, South America, Austraila and New Zealand.. I've been to Bali many years ago and think to go back there also one day.. life is long thanks God.. now that I have all these intentions I know I can keep on going as long as I am healthy so I make extra effort to look after my body & soul, stay young(i'm 37)
the other obvious thing I'm very aware as I travel--- I see how beautiful this planet is.. I want to enjoy it for so much longer, I want many more people to also see it.. I want it to survive many years.. I can't just sit back and let human kind slaughter it.. the process is like that but at least I'm findin ways to be a part of the solution rather a part of the problem, and the problem is society=ignorance.. the solution is awarness= posotive action.. there are many things we can do to help and one of the main things is to grow as individuals, to exceed the process of our personal evolution, there is such a thing, and the only way to grow is to know what you don't agree and not put energy in it.. for instance; religion is againts the idea of evolution because it doesnt want the people to grow and have their own personal connection with the creator that creates evolution.. just like any society group one needs to be controled and not free, not smoking pot, soon they will have laws not to meditate.. well religion says all these mystic new age stuff is work of devil.. using fear.. all our lives we encounter fear everywhere we go, that's what the papers, Tv gives us all the time.. so the way out is to be free, smoke pot or meditate, travel and see the world, feel the world, be creative, grow, learn, enjoy and be happy
MISSED ANOTHER PLANE
Yesterday I got robbed, today I missed my Mexico plane
I'm left in San Fransisco with a few cents, ready for any game
I started giving my Indian massages and it went pretty well
Went for a walks as a tourist and busked around as well
I came to a corner and thought it's a good spot
It was breezy but sunny and I felt nice and hot
Took out my Accordion and started to play
Put out my hat for tips but the wind blew it away
I'll play for free this time and won't feel like a beggar
I'm here to enjoy the moment of bliss and remember it forever
I was swinging around, dancing & jumping along
A baby sat just in front so I sang her a little song
Another baby came over, stoped and looked at me
I looked straight into her eyes and the magic I could see
A bunch of teenage girls started to move
They were crossing the street as I was getting into a groove
They danced & laughed then sat very very near
They kept me going even more as they started to cheer
Then a kid with mobile phone snapped a quick photo
As he skate-boarded away and zoomed like a Moto
Then I came up with this funky melody
Composed a Chorus, a Bridge & a Harmony
A toothless bloke smiled to me and said
Strange things came out from the top of his head
He was caught in random speech as I was improvising
He thought I was paying attention but in the music I was diving
Then he wanted me to stop so he could play me a song
"Whatever" I said and gave him my Accordion
So he played this famous tune and threw me to the moon
He was rusty but classy, Looked cool and Happy
As he left and said goodbye another baby came and I said Hi!
The day went on as I composed more pieces
It's nice to play without asking money
It's a good practice and it's funny
I could write about my adventures and put it on line
So I wrote this poem right now and wasted no time
I missed my plane this morning & I dono what to do
I got no plans and my mind is jumping like a kangaroo
So I smoke the weed and play it cool
Everything is gonna a be alright, don't forget the GOLDEN RULE
SAN FRANSISCO BABY
I saw pretty chicks, they were hip, cool & funky
I also saw street bums begging, were dirty, drunk & nasty
I saw Yappis rushing here and there, were super friendly
I saw students from all over the world in the streets of Berkeley
I rode through Santa Cruz, San Jose & Oakland
Checked out San Fransisco Bay and all around the Island
Went to the Hippy Park, China town & the famous Golden Bridge
Got invited to a house party with so much beer in the fridge
Met up with circus clowns & jugglers I've met in India
They all returned home safely, none of them caught any Bacteria
I even made some cash on the streets playing my Gypsy Accordion
It's legal to busk around here, Lucky I also had mt Saxophone
Even weed is allowed, They all smoke it in the streets
Possible to grow it in your own garden, wow, what a treat!!!
I almost feel I am in some dream city, not in the U.S.A
If I could change my return ticket I would probably stay
But it's America indeed, so many people are in need
No money, No jobs, too much crime & Dodgy mobs
Wide streets, sky scrapers & fast food co- operations
Fat people caught in a life style leading to depression
Forgetting who they are and why they were born in this reality
Running around in circles like slaves in this society
I enjoy passing in and out the big city
Observing it all. isn't it a pity
I wish the Native Americans would be left alone
They don't need alcohol, colour T.V or a mobile phone
I wish the U.S would change it's foreign policy
Abandon the church & and this old fashioned monogamy
But this is the ruling empire of the day, we all obey
"Let's continue to save the planet" that's all I say
I have so much more to tell people before they destroy too far
I'll keep on shining and one day become a R&R Super Star
LADIES!!! SHOW US THE WAY
Your spiritual or Religious beliefs don't matter
How you live your life is the real factor
Are you happy as can be or do you live in fear?
Are you messed up or are you conscious and clear?
Are you healthy and strong or are you addicted and weak?
Do you think you know it all or is there more knowledge to seek?
You might be so intellectual, studying for ever & ever
But your way of life might show that you are not so very clever
It's the feelings you project,it's not what you think you know
It's about the love that you give & Heal, it's about what you show
Health & Happiness is very inspiring
Anger & discipline is old Fashioned & tiring
A smile on your face, a shine in your eye
Will make all of us feel better, no fake, no lie
Order is boring, Work is annoying
unless it's done with faith, not for controlling
Creativity is magic, Hope is Fantastic
Mother earth needs more hippies in the world;
musicians, poets & other artists
We have enough street bums, beggars & junkies
Enough men in Grey, Black & Navy Blue
Wanker Bankers, Fake Doctors & lawyers too
Thinking the wild life is happy in the zoo
No responsibility, no idea nor a clue
The World we're living in is still in perfect harmony
Don't worry, Just set the children free and you will see
Yoga & Meditation teaches us to be healthy, wise & calm
But some choose to stay ignorant, stupid and dumb
beating up their kids, their wives or anything that comes their way
Caught in Anger, with violent energy they play everyday
With no rhythm dancing to the beat
Singing out of tune as they stump their heavy feet
Living with so much blind faith under Micky Mouse religion
Burning women alive then listening to an intellectual composition
Males rule the land, everybody wants to be a king
Women treated like slaves, regarded as a "thing"
But hey, Women do dance in time and even sing in tune
Dress nice & clean, smell like sweet perfume
Eyes are so clear, sensible & wise
So sensitive they are, attracting angels from the skies
If women ruled the land we would live in harmony
In line with mother Nature, the moon, the stars & higher realities
The gifted men are the sensitive ones with female qualities
Usually becoming artists, musicians tuned to visuals & melodies
But society is so demanding giving little space for transformation
The Goddess is waiting for a Turing point of a higher vibration
REAL INDIA
Food is hot & spicy, very cheap and best!
Surrounded by ceotic madness, my nerves are in a test
Waiters scratch their balls, pick their noses as they touch the food
Coughing in my plate and ask me "Sir, is it very good?"
"Very good indeed" i say with my burning tongue
I shouldn't get angry here so I order a lassi bang
If i took I desert it would be only sweeter than sugar
The chai makes my teeth ache but it does taste super
Dogs, half dead sniff my feet and almost bite me
Bulls and cows from every direction attack with massive horns so spiky
Black fumes in my face, so normal to walk in a cloud of dust..
I smell like onion/chilly/garlic sweating after my greasy lunch
The only way to avoid the hustlers and beggars under the frying sun
Is to walk very fast or catch a rickshaw and run
Zooming like a plane in the market streets
In a 3 wheeler with broken seats
Overtaking a bus, running in between two trucks without a fuss
Fall into a ditch, slip a puddle like a fish
Bump into a tree, driver pulls his cock out for a pee
We race the jumpy/ bumpy road with bubbles in my tummy
At the hotel toilet I piss from my Ass and that's not very funny
"problem?" someone asking me "no problem my friend"
-"Everything ok" is always the answer
"Do you like India?" ..not another question
"Yes I do but I am busy my friend" ... i am tired and have no power
"What is your good name?" -"Picasso!"
"What is your country?" every time i make it up "Italiano!!!"
You see what India does to people? I can't tell you what it did to me..
I'll have to come back one more time and see
Each time I leave I always want to come back
And see a bare footed chilum Baba walking with a sack
See the crowd of kids smiling at me
Even though all they want is a pencil or a roupee
Once I bought a kilo of bananans to give instead of candy
But instead I was robbed in day light by a crazy monkey
There is so much to say, so much to capture
So much hatred and so much laughter
This is India you see.. it squeezed everything out of me...
FREE THE WOMEN
I wish women could be so free
Walking naked like the bird and the bee
Without stupid men starring like owls
With erections under stained towels
I wish women would never be enslaved
Burned on the stake,tortured & raped
But that's the past and it was how i was
Now is the now and we must look at the cause
Men are so weak, they need extra power
They found women so powerful yet fragile like a flower
Could bring seeds to life, communicate with the Divine
Feel the higher frequencies, enter the heavens & sit on a shrine
Men were so jealous they had to push on through
Destroy nature and wild life, put animals in a farm or a zoo
Must get complete control over every situation
Start wars, enslave, conquer a nation
Grow stronger 7 stronger under false identities
Forget the truth, the source, deny female qualities
Create a male god that kills and destroys
Invent violent games and dangerous toys
deny nature and it's beauty by chopping any tree
Care not about cosmic life, beauty & harmony
Choose a female slave or two, calling her a "wife"
Making sure she stays to work at home and doesn't have a life
Raising babies, cooking & cleaning all day
keeping her busy in any possible way
But... thanks to the Goddess, now more women are becoming free
In some beaches they can bath naked in the sea
Can generate goddess power and bring it down to earth
Can fulfill they lives beside just giving birth
The balance shall be restored, men must learn & listen
Their karma has a high price but they can still be forgiven
Women worship beauty, peace & harmony
Have no faith in structures of man made society
Women are hear to reveal the truth, every year has 13 moons...
Every moon has different energy, sings different tunes
knowledge comes from the stars, someone has to bring it through..
Someone has to channel wisdom to the world of me & you
Someone has to fix this earth, it's packed with so much pride
Natural disasters are on the blink and there is nowhere else to hide
Free the women, free the goddess, free you daughters, support the oness
Burn our egos, they mess us up too much
We need faith, cosmic belief, in the spirits we must trust
Women are our priestess, we must set them free
Help them do the light work, fulfill themselves and truly be..
FREE THE WEED
When I left the army at 21 I started smoking dope
I found it more inspiring than alcohol or a television soap
life became interesting, I got so much inspiration
Even though it slowed me down I was filled with motivation
I didn't know what to do then so I stared doing nothing
Observing life was the kick.. I knew one day I'll be doing something
indeed, weed gave me spiritual realizations..
I started doing Yoga and trying meditations
I heard music in a new way I never did..
The Reggae got me dancing like a flower not a seed
music & dance paved the way into a cosmic liberation
Feeling like a special spirit in this beautiful creation
Many friends of mine started smoking it
Before or after sex, even while taking a shit
They all start talking about the universe and it's magical qualities
Of all the world's religions and many philosophies
started reading good books, not just about war, crime & romance
Became so sensitive, giving peace a chance
Ganja is bliss for the planet, brings balance & harmony
Unites us all in a cosmic frequency like a telepathic melody
Is great for the soil, it could solve all the environmental issues of today...
Let it grow freely all over the world and everything will be OK
Men would be be so wise, not so violent and tough..
Killing each other for money and land yet never having enough
Consciousness would never have fallen into such an ego separation..
Forests and animals would continue to live in perfect situations
Hemp is pure medicine, was used by the ancient tribes
Can feed and shelter humans & generate positive vibes
Free the plant! free the weed! Free the flower! free the seed!
mother nature gives us gifts in disguise, we must not abuse it or criticize
It is there for us to learn from, to heal and to bless
before we destroy our planet, feel sorry and confess
now is the time to align ourselves with nature
The goddess is asking for support! now, more than ever
The kids play with fire and abuse everything
But legalizing Ganja would make the world sing
Anything illegal makes it popular and cool
Creates new gangsters selling pills & white powders at school
Hemp's nutrition is magic, let ir grow free for god's sake!
Let's break some crappy laws, they are unreal and fake
VIVA MARIJUANA!!!!
BACK IN DELHI
I arrived yesterday in Delhi.. it's as mad as ever.. dirty, crazy, load, car horns beeping everywhere you go, cows shitting, rickshaws trying to run you over, smell of food and shit from the drains, fire, puga, screaming kids, dogs waiting to strike, people touching you, bumping into you, asking where are you going, what are you looking for, buy this buy that, want this/ want that? etc..
.. but in this madness i feel like a rajah king.. walking tall.. i have so little money i brought from the west buy i can still take a fast train to Goa, stay in a hotel with an attached bathroom & toilet, eat anything I want, buy this buy that what i need without being concerned.. i came with a one way ticket. and life will show me the way to my next destination, and the money will be given... I found 100 rps on the street today.. and later gave it to an African from Tanzania that was in need.. i received so many presents from the universe exactly when i need it and it's great to be the universe's servant giving the help to others..I love the heart connection i find here,, something i haven't seen in London, only when i met my friends of course and when I went to see amma... for me this western way of life is so horrible and cold, I know what we do to each other, what we do to nature and there is no way i take part in this behabiour anymore.. i know too much now
CHOICE
Here is something that touchs me a lot.. i read it somewhere;
BLESS EVERY PERSON & CONDITION AND GIVE THANKS
Thus you affirm the perfection of god's creation, and show your faith in it.. nothing happens by accident in God's world, there is no such thing as coincidence nor is the world buttered by random choice..
It is not appropriate to interfere with choice nor to question it nor to condemn it, There is perfection in the process.. all life arises out of choice. Be watchful not judgmental of the choices of others, know that their choice is perfect for them in this moment now..yet stand ready to assist then should the moment come when they seek a newer choice, a different choice, a higher choice..
Allow each soul to walk it's path, souls that require help will come to you, don't violate that law of the universe and help those who didn't ask for it..(Jesus healed only those who came to him)
and something about the planet;
NOTHING IS MORE GENTLE THAN NATURE, NOTHING HAS BEEN MORE CRUEL TO NATURE THAN MAN
Earth is in it's shape it's in because of the choices you made or failed to make
Your own life is the shape it is because of the choices you made or failed to make
You can choose the end of destruction of your rain forests tomorrow, stop depleting the protective layer hovering over your planet. discontinue the ongoing onslaught of your earth's ingenious ecosystem.
Seek to put the snow flack back together or at least halt it's inexorable melting.
ALL IT TAKES IS TO AGREE
We can't agree on something as basically simple as ending the killing of each other.
The law of the prophets; I will do nothing for you that you will not do for yourself
Thoughts put into action ;
IF ENOUGH PEOPLE EVERYWHERE BELIEVE IN SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT WE WILL SAVE THE EARTH
So much damage has already been done for so long we must work fast. It takes so long because to stop poisoning would cost many major companies a great deal of money. For years many people & nations chose to deny the evidence in order to protect their interest in the statue quo, in keeping things the way they are..Temperatures began rising, snow began melting, oceans got warmer, lakes & rivers began flooding, rate of skin cancer increased alarmingly. Many fine minds among us prove beyond doubt the damage we are doing and deny; the depletion of ozone layer, OUR RAPE OF OLD GROWTH FORESTS!!!...
We see goodness, compassion, wisdom within ourselves but deny it, we see infinite possibilities yet deny it.. we destroy our world with our environmental suicide..
RESPECT THE LAND, RESPECT THE AIR, REFUSE TO POISON OUR RIVERS
A NEW BIRTHDAY
I am another year old.. and feel more and more like a child.. thanks god I look like a child still, that helps a lot.. but what I want to say is that this is the intention! to be like a child, to look like a child, to be happy as a child, Naive, to keep learning.. but it´s different because I am not here to learn from the "ADULTS", they should learn from me!!!! you see, children are more special than you think.. they are so pure they know what they want.. but of course they have no powers to act.. if every child knew what the "Adults" are doing they would refuse to be born.. but yes, they chose to be here and now it´s time to take responsibilty!!! Every soul knows that we humans have gone to far.. already gone to far 3000 years ago when we decided to control our women, our animals and our planet.. this thought of ownership of land, animals and women is the essence of our main mistake.. now 3000 years later we still fight eachother, still distroy our planet and still look for women to control..
Every child is so connected to the mother.. the Mother is more connected to the planet than the man, yet we men think that we know more then the mother and the child.. we create the laws and now the women and children around the world follow.. but we don´t need those rules, we don´t want to punish and to be punished.. we really want to be happy.. wars in the name of what? who cares.. religion is one form of order that allows wars in the name of god.. in other words a religion is an army.. a state is an army too! I have been 3 years in military service.. I wish I could act then and travel to India when I was 16.. I wish I never bothered to finish my exams.. I think in this mid age of mine I do think of raising the child of my dream; with no school education but tribal education of understanding this planet.. I know fighting is not the way.. but we do need to save our nature because soon there won´t be places to live far from the Human Danger.. the Human THREAT already killed all the evolved souls in America, Australia, Europe and in all the Tropical Islands of the planet.. the human THREAT has already owned land, rivers, forests and lets no one to be free but to be a controlled slave.. I don´t want to be a slave.. I don´t want my son to be a slave! I don´t want my friends to be slaves... It´s been hard enough seeing my parent´s slavery and being a slave myself for 15 years.. now all I want is to be able to move around and settle somewhere if I can.. the food comes, more important is the Knowledge of this planet.. the connection we have and always had.. for this we must live in peace, relaxed and happy, with much time for ourselves.. for silence to enter our life... My dream is to see more people helping the forests.. to see more companies going green, more governments helping the ancient tribes and the new age hippies who discovered what life is all about; celebration, meditation, creation.. this is a life of joy.. everything else comes because MAGIC DOES EXSIT.. all we have to do is connect with ourselves, follow our hearts, our intuitions and share the knowledge with others.. Old religion has showed us it´s real face enough times, we can take the good stuff and learn more but we must never fall into slavery under any regime, any leader even if appears to be spiritual and kind because we must control our own minds and feed from each other! this is the "ONESS" everybody is talking about.. the only way to raise the frequency in this planet is if all of us together connect to this planet´s frequency of love

LIFE LIFE LIFE
From a very young age learnt to play musical instruments; Studied classical Piano since I was 7 yeas old, then Folk Accordion, after jazz Saxophone, later picked up the guitar, started singing and writing my own songs, during my travels around the world I picked up more percussive instruments, wind & string including bamboo flutes, Bazooki & Sarod.
I joined my first rock band as a keyboard player in my local town, Netania.. Also was a member of the local Big Band youth orchestra..
As soon as I joined the army(Big mistake for me) I met Moti the drummer, nowadays a very famous drummer in Israel, I joined his rock band "DUNE"We and the rest of the gang became good friends. I contributed my songs, backing & lead vocals and ofcourse; Keyboards & Saxophone.. We had a good local success, did a few studio sessions, plenty of rehearsals, gigs etc but never made it to the next level. When I finaly left the army me & the gang moved to the big city Tel Aviv, where we started smoking dope and enjoyed our freedom but soon things started going wrong; I got depressed & confused because of some girl I was in love with at the time, I was lost in my freedom after the shocking army days and my career was going no where so I packed my bags and left to the bigger city; LONDON!!!
Since my dad is English it was a natural move for me, I had plenty of relatives and I've been there a few times before..
For the first 5 years I was doing all sorts of things but still felt I was going round in circles...I've completed academic training in Jazz, Pop & World music, played in a few London Jazz & Rock bands and later formed my own group called 'Jungle Book'; We played my original compositions, we experimented with Funk, Jazz, Rthm & Blues, Ballads and than we started playing Reggae.. That was the first time I ever played my own Reggae tunes and it felt like a big positive change for me.. From that point onwards music became more simple, more groovy and more accessible to the public.. After a few Camden gigs and a recording session 'Jungle book' did not last very long as a band, that was quiet depressing, I felt I wanted to leave London so after about a year I took my girlfriend at the time and went to BALI...
My first big travel experience was in Bali.. I found that place different from any place I've ever been to before.. I discovered much more about humanity and about tribalizm, I found that place more authentic and real than any other place I've ever been before, it was green and lush, I ate well, breathed clean air, played around on the beach along the coconut trees and the rise fields, went tracking around volcanic mountains... It was very inspiring..
That was my next destination, I felt so free, so acceptable as a human everywhere I went, I traveled all over the country and rediscovered the power of nature, the power of the moon, of the stars, of the sun.. Discovered spiritual powers, syncronisity & magic, was feeling myself and feeling the world.. I was inspired; I wrote many new songs and was ready to go back to the west and do something about my musical career. I chose to return to London
London again; I started my new project that specialized in Reggae and later also in other forms of world music. I went through another 5 year difficult period in this mad city but was very satisfied musically. This project was called 'The Organics' to spread messages for world peace, and later was renamed 'KESHA'and now "Assi Rose and the Rainbow Tribes" . This name was inspired by the Hebrew word for 'Connection' , the mission is to connect & bridge between cultures, between religions and nationalities through the universal language of music & Groove. In this live & studio band project I invited London musicians from all over the globe to collaborate and it resaulted with immediate success!Everywhere we played the place was moving; The crowd was dancing & singing!
In 'Kesha' I collaborated with musicians from Latin America(Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Carabbeans), from Africa(Ghana, Senegal), from India, from Europe(France, England, Denemark, Germany, Spain) and from Israel. 'Kesha' started to have a life of it's own, members joined & left, songs kept changing and many new ones were constantly written, the musical styles varied and specialized in world music including African, Cuban, Flamenco, Reggae, Gypsy, Funk, Ska and more...We were busy playing in top London venues & squat parties, in the English festival scene, in an Israeli festival and in German venues & festivals.
While fantastic musicians were collaborating with me I was collaborating in other projects including;
A.M.A, nowadays known as Laxula(a.m.a)- www.laxula.com A Spanish Gypsy & Flamenco orientated band with front singer Monte, we recorded our own albums and toured the English festival scene, played in top London venues and even toured Barcelona and played famous venues in Madrid.
The Bindoo Babas- A clever combination of music, poetry & groove by Pranaji & Mathura Das. Together we play all over England and in India..
Avalon Roots- An English Roots Reggae band from Glastonbury. They write songs that promote peace & love in the world.
Nowdays I collaborate with my new female partner-Harmony in a project called 'FREE THE LOVE' designed to spread messages of peace, love & unity to the world through music, poetry, songs, dance and visuals. We played universal folk tunes from different cultures, original tunes and famous covers such as 'Imagine', 'All you need is Love', 'Blowing in the Wind' and more.
.. Activities such as performing infront of school children took place this year in India between Feb and June 2006.. More activities as such are planed to take place in India again next year and hopfuly after that in South Africa, Brazil, Israel/ Palestine & more places..
In the end of the day it's up to us to work in peaceful activities, even if it doesn't seem to bring financial income it's still very much worth it.. The reward is far greater than money and I also believe it brings about some serious transformation of consciousness in this planet. We all have the power to bring love to the world, we inspire each other, there is so much joyful work to be done
What Can I Say
am very shy yet dynamic, Modest yet proud, I love it soft and I love it Loud.. A mix of it all really, I love everything I see what I call reality is not always what it is, sometimes I interpret negative things as positive or as a part of accepting what life is.. Sometimes its easy, sometimes its hard, sometimes life is happy, sometimes its sad... What I keep learning from my happy experiences is that we should get the most out of them while they exit.. That's the best time to live the moment.. Sometimes its worth staying up all night; do something nice and watch the sun rise...
Indigo Child
I am some sort of an Indigo child, whatever it means, neither of us can realy get it but it has something to do with the fact that we love each other anyway but some of us can't help trying to understand why & how does it work; how can we use it for our own benefits and play this mystical game of universal magic we call "creativity" through different channels or Chakras, if you wish..My thingi(what we call talent or form of channeling mixed with physical abilities to use or arms, fingers & whatever) is music, poetry & arts.. I use it to improve my happiness and make my life more & more wonderful. I enjoy the process so much also knowing this is going to please so many other people ready to receive this dose of happiness!!! I get high receiving and delivering these magical moments of creativity because it is a game I play together with the Angels, the fairies, the frequency of light beings that feed us with so much love* I can say about me that I like to smile, laugh, see the beauty all around, I love colors, I love smooth music that blends with whets around me as if it is one epic from a movie.. I love offspring; Of the flowers, of the new born animals and of all sorts of children .. I like the simplicity of life and feel so alive when I live those moments of beauty where all the naive cliches are actually so real, more real than anything I've experienced before that.. I love when spiritual dreams of bliss actually happen, when the synchronisity is so in tune with every fragile moment to an extent that life seems more perfect than heaven can be because it happens at that particular moment and wouldn't ever ever repeat in that form, so its a new feeling that can be enjoyed only then, I love appreciating those moments because the whole universe is involved in creating these "bigger than life" experiences and there is so much creative power involved around it, so much knowledge in endless forms are floating around the energy waiting for us to connect with them, we only have to let ourselves flow, think not and open out and so much wisdom and healing powers enter our body, fill us with love, bliss, light, we feel so much better and energized we envision and come up with fantastic ideas-- all these ideas are serving the light because they are so pure.. My skills also involve capturing these moments on audio/ visuals/ paper/ or just through memory; memorize lyrics, melodies, ideas and so on.. I love it when I inspire others or when I transform group situations.. I also believe positive thinking and acting effects every single cell on this universal creation.. Meaning each one of has so much power.. But when we serve the light we serve the power of love.. The biggest power of all.. Everything vibrates, everything transforms.. We are here to transform together, lets not wait and enjoy the process of healing our mother earth
