<div> <br/> <br/>ZIMBABWEAN MBIRA CONCERT: A JOURNEY WITH THE SPIRITS <br/>SATURDAY DECEMBER 1st, 2007 <br/> <br/> <br/>Erica Azim plays a concert of traditional Shona mbira music of Zimbabwe at MUCID (the Mahea Uchiyama Center for International Dance), 729 Heinz Ave in Berkeley, at 8 pm Saturday, December 1st. <br/> <br/>The metal keys of the mbira, plucked with two thumbs and one forefinger, create relaxing yet invigorating polyphony and polyrhythms. For over a thousand years, the mbira instrument and its repertoire of classic songs have been used in Zimbabwe to call family ancestors and powerful tribal guardian spirits to earth to help the living, in night-long to week-long ceremonies. Every time the mbira is played, it is considered a prayer to the ancestors, which will result in their protection of the living. <br/> <br/>Erica Azim is the foremost mbira performer and recording artist in the U.S. She specializes in a meditative mbira style used for healing, as played on her CDs “Mbira Dreams” and “Mbira: Healing Music of Zimbabwe”. <br/> <br/>Admission is $15 at the door. For more information, call (510) 548-6053. <br/> <br/>The concert is co-sponsored by the non-profit organization MBIRA (www.mbira.org) and MUCID (www.mahea.com). MBIRA is a non-profit organization supporting 135 traditional musicians in Zimbabwe; CDs of these artists will be available at the show.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ritualisticmusic">Ritual Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Where is your mountain? What is your river? How did you come here? These are the questions at the heart of A Walk by the Sea (Dancetera label) the long-awaited fourth CD by Mahealani Uchiyama. The Bay Area artist is known for her ethereal and lyrical performances which meld music and dance. Mahealani is an artist of African and Native American ancestry, and her new CD is a collection which speaks of Mahealani's search for the spiritual and cultural traditions of her ancestors. <br/> <br/>A Walk by the Sea is a ceremony of thanksgiving, a celebration of community, and of finding home. The collection contains a message of healing and peace which transcends the obstacle of language difference. <br/> <br/>Mahealani is a dancer, musician, composer, and kumuhula (instructor of hula and ori). She has performed in such venues as San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts, Te Papa Tongarewa (the National Museum of New Zealand, Aotearoa), and the Grand Heiva in Tahiti, French Polynesia. She has won numerous awards for excellence in traditional Hawaiian and Tahitian dance and music. <br/> <br/>She writes, “Is the place where we were born the place were we belong? Is home a physical location, or is it the summation of our experiences? Is who we are what we look like, or is it what is inside of us? The search is the same for all of us. The experiences and the results vary from person to person. <br/> <br/>Special guests include Hugh Humphrey, one of the Caribbean's most dynamic percussionists, Ashley Moore, a composer, performer, producer and recording engineer whose award-winning work can be heard on radio, television, theater and film, and Aaron Sencil a drummer, choreographer, costume designer, song writer, and artistic director for the award-winning dance company Hui Tama Nui. <br/> <br/>In A Walk by the Sea, Mahealani sings in several languages and calls upon all of us to overlook the superficial differences which divide us, and instead, to celebrate our common humanity. <br/> <br/>It is available on CD Baby, eBay, and mahea.com. It will soon appear on iTunes and Amazon.com <br/> <br/>One can hear samples of the music at www.mahea.com on the catalog page.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ritualisticmusic">Ritual Music</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>So, I assume different tones of music can affect you emotionally. I have just recently went through a very hard relationship break up and have been doing a lot of healing through therapy and meditation. I have also started doing candle and gem/rock rituals that relate to my path I must walk and to that special person I am no longer with. I have not been playing any music during my rituals but I am curious to know if I did, is there any type of music that grounds the soul more than others? <br/> I have deep roots to my native american heritage and have done many ceremonies and rituals involving traditional native music. Common sense tells me to stay within that realm of music because I am so attached to it and it does ground me a great deal but I am interested in trying new things .Any ideas? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ritualisticmusic">Ritual Music</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>As I was telling one of our members earlier, the term "ritual music" is used very loosely within different spiritual traditions. I want to focus primarily on Neo-Pagan traditions because, unlike my friends who go to church and have learned to read/write/sing music in that setting, there doesn't seem to be a strong musical tradition within the Pagan community - now I know I'm opening myself up to argument on that one, but so far that's just what I've seen. One of the reasons I loved going to the Spiral Dance in SF every year was for the music...that and the altars. In fact, I think that the Reclaiming Community is one of the best models of a Pagan tradition using music consistantly in ritual and worship. What are your thoughts/ideas on this? <br/> <br/>As we explore, let's here more about what ritual music means to you, how you use music in ritual: do you play? sing? use recorded music? chant? What musical traditions really inspire you? Let it begin...now!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ritualisticmusic">Ritual Music</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>This is a place for us to discuss ritual music in its various forms: what it is, what it means to us, how we use music in our personal rituals and spiritual practices. I was suprised to discover that while there were many postings on the topic, there was no tribe for it at all! Most of the discussions will be geared primarily to Neo-Pagans, but anyone with something to share, please do so!
