Hamsa Lila Electro groove ganawa

An excerpt from a live set on the Big Island. Lyrics and melody written by Prrisma. Track by Evan Fraser. A song that speaks of the magic within us and awakening to that potential.

LYRICS:
We are the magic, woven into every sun
we are the magic, as a new day has begun

Light in the darkness 
permeate all consciousness
seed in sweet gestation
germinate all creation
we are weaving a tapestry
fit together puzzle pieces
stitch together every bead
sprouting from the seed
give us what we need
 
Hallelujah...

It's laying awaiting this magic within us
we are cultivating the power to bring love
a seed has been planted awaiting the springtime
all wishes been granted by the great one who brings life

Magic- LIVE (Evan Fraser)

We are beyond ecstatic to share this video and song from the Solar Sound retreat with you!

At the Solar Sound Men’s Electronic Music Production Retreat in Costa Rica in February 2020, 55 men from around the world came together to create ecstatic electronic music.

This is how it went down: Starting in a class lead by David Satori of Beats Antique and Dirtwire, we created the foundation of a collective song, which we added more and more layers to throughout the week, culminating in hip hop verses from several super inspired brothers and a music video of us having the best time of our lives, creating the song, dancing in the jungle, and gettin' down!

At the same time, the Women at the Shakti Sound retreat were also making music and videos on the other side of Costa Rica during a timely half-moon phase of the month. We were inspired by Shakti Sound’s music video from their first retreat, and wanted to have something special to share with our dear sisters, future and past Solar Sound brothers, and with the world.

The chorus of this song is sung by Tzutu Kan (a balam ajpu member), one of the teachers at Solar Sound, who is an indigenous Tz’utujil Mayan hip hop artist from Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. In the song, he is saying the names of all the indigenous tribes of Costa Rica, to call them in, honor them, thank them, and connect with them:

Tzutu’s Verse: Chorotegas Cabécares, Bribris, Ngäbe, Térrabas, Borucas, Huetares, Malekus, Kin siq'ij li a b'i iwonojel.

We have decided that all funds raised from the sales of this song will go to Tzutu’s non-profit organization which teaches music, art, and language revitalization to indigenous Mayan children in his homeland.

A note on the School of Mayan Hip Hop:
“Within the “Caza Ajaw.” School, elements of Hip Hop are reconfigured to create
alignment between Hip-Hop culture and Mayan culture. Caza Ajaw teaches Hip-Hop as
having three elements (Rap, Painting and Music) corresponding to the three stones
traditionally used to make a hearth (or xkub’) in Mayan culture. The use of the xkub’
hearthstones recontextualizes the elements of Hip-Hop from a specifically Maya
perspective. The songs taught in the school reflect the goals of language revitalization within the Maya Movement – encouraging children to use the language among themselves, the use of
Mayan languages in new domains, and an emphasis on the connection between language
use and cultural knowledge.”

So much love and stoke went into the making of this song and this video!

Please share this video, and donate to Tzutu’s organization by purchasing the song, or making a direct donation here and note that it’s for Tzutu: paypal.me/solarsound

Brothers Of The Sun ((Solar Sound))

Rocking the West Coast World Music scene hard with its fusion of hip-hop/spoken word, ritual dance, and traditional World influences, Hamsa Lila earned its stripes as venerable force within the world music genre.   Since their inception in 2001 they've been recognized as a pioneer in world fusion, singing in multiple languages, alongside hypnotic polyrhythms led by  South African deep-pocket groove drummer Ian "Inkx" Herman (who’s backed Paul Simon, Sting, Hugh Masakela, Vusi Mahlasela), and mesmerizing vocals of the velvet voiced Nikila Badua and soulful Deja Solis, along with the core tribal resonance of MJ Greenmountain on male lead vocals and percussion. The bottom pulse of Hamsa Lila comes from the Gnawa bass like lute called the ‘sintir’, played by Vir McCoy.  This goat-gut stringed, camel-skinned ’bass’ has a penetratingly deep tone delivery that exemplifies Hamsa Lila’s unique sound.  When the repetition of trance melodies are added to this equation by another Moroccan, gut-stringed lute called the ‘Guimbri’, played by Beryl Jacobson, the group produces a sound that is wholly their own: a potent healing salve of electro-organic roots, hypno-grooves, and other-worldly melodies. And when embellished with the multi-instrumental talents of Evan Fraser (who is half of the hugely popular duo Dirtwire), on flutes, synths, ngoni, kalimbas, jawharps, and percussion, Hamsa Lila erupts in tidal wave of divine sounds and rhythms. The band became a sensation for their marathon "all night" performances at Burning Man and other popular West Coast festivals and events, and cemented a historic 2nd place on two national charts for their previous studio release "Gathering One.".  ( CMJ, Billboard ) in the World Fusion category.
Hamsa Lila has shared the stage with a number of renowned artists such as Karsh Kale, Michael Franti, Steve Kimmock, String Cheese Incident, Rasaki Aladokun ( King Sunny Ade), Tinariwen, and many others. Hamsa Lila’s new album, Aurora, is their latest studio recording, a collection of previously un-released studio gems.  The album will be fully released in August 2015.
