Protoje  Ft. Ky - Mani Marley - Rasta Love

This song was inspired by a vision I had one night of a vast hallway deep underground. Lyrically it is my favourite song on my first album "Enchanted Hallways." 

Enchanted Hallways - Enchanted Hallways

I AM HERE 
.....................
a G 
I am here to release all (of) my fears
F
come to peace with all my tears
G
and discover what it means to be alive
aGF
alive alive alive 
G
and discover what it means to be alive


You can sing the tree different parts as different voices - it takes some time but it is more than beautiful! Just try! You can also practice singing along to my recording... enjoy!

I Am Here - Cover

I WANNA BE FREE 
...................................
I wanna be free 
so free like a flower and the bee
like a bird in the tree
like a dolphin in the sea
I wanna fly high 
so high like an eagle in the sky
and when my time has come 
I will spread my wings and fly
and when my time has come 
I will lay down and die
Pachamama I'm coming home
to the place where I belong
Pachamama I'm coming home
to the place where I belong

Breathing in I go back to the island within myself.
aG
There are beautiful trees within the island,
G
there are clear streams of water,
a
there are birds, sunshine and fresh air,
Ga
breathing out I feel safe.
aGa
I enjoy going back to my island.

I am a Human Being
I walk on the Sacred Earth

And I bow to the Earth

Here is it. The 20 minute edition of this song, requested by many of you. I have had feedback from people saying to me that a longer version would be great for those who want to use this song for meditation purposes or to enter into deep relaxation and healing.
This song is in Quechua (the people’s language spoken mainly in the Andes region of South America).
This song is tuned in 432Hz which therefore means that it is mathematically consistent with the universe. The ancient bells from Peru used in this track were already tuned to this frequency and so we therefore tuned all the other instruments to match the 432Hz tuning. Music that is tuned in 432Hz transmits healing energy because it is in exact mathematical frequency and vibration to the universe, as opposed to the 440Hz frequency tuning that is most commonly used today. Music therefore tuned in 432Hz frequency is known to be more relaxing, healing and softer for the human being.

Mother of the Waters was one of those rare gifts, a song that came full and complete, lyrics written in under 5 minutes sitting on a rocky beach on the Adriatic coastline in Croatia, truly one of the most beautiful waters I have had the pleasure to behold. The sense of gratitude to be invited there by these warm-hearted friends of that nation, to be welcomed with such warmth, and to be held opened the heart for the song to pour through... love to all my Croatian relations :)...

Wakantanka was written in Madrid, another clean channel song, the first song written with my new guitar. Holding her I felt my grandfather beside me... the words came to weave around the chords my fingers found and the song was birthed with tears of gratitude for all the beauty and the pain that goes with this life...

We celebrate two years of Shika Shika with the release of our third compilation: Eco. 

Eco sums up what Shika Shika is about - the global reverberations of styles, genres, traditions and sounds moving around the world and fusing to create inspiring new music. We call it music without borders and on Eco we present 11 tracks that are exactly that. 

The tracks we hand-picked for Eco draw inspiration from traditional rhythms, stories and melodies and fuse them with individual inspirations, sounds from nature and electronic music. This is exemplified on Di Laif’s anthemic opener “Paso Por el Fuego” or Guazú’s incredible “Pava de Monte” featuring Wenceslada. Some artists like Jin Jerei and Oxhalá take us on a journey deep into their roots while others like Didacte and O.R. create atmospheric textural, electronic-organic soundscapes. Ibu Selva’s “Chega de Esperar” is a rework of a Brazilian agrarian reform anthem while Klik & Frik offer up a beautiful edit of Hassan Ben Jaafar, a master of Moroccan Gnawa music. 

It is hard to believe it has been two years since Shika Shika was started as a platform to showcase some of the music we truly loved from the thriving community from Sao Paulo to Seoul. Two years of connections, exchanges, ideas, new sounds and, most of all, incredible support and feedback from the people who listen & buy this music all over the world. We started Shika Shika as a way to give exposure and support to this community, sharing 70% of all the profits with the artists directly, and are inspired to continue pushing the music we love. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. We all appreciate it dearly. 

¡Here’s to labels without owners for music without borders!
