Octo Friends #17 - Andre Mayborn

All stories must start somewhere. 
 When it comes to the story of the moon it always begins with the slow flow of growth and release. For something to grow it must start as a seed, it’s in that exact moment when the moon’s journey begins... and here she is sometimes unseen and sometimes shining bright. 
 As the first glimpse of the moonlight hits earth and reflects upon the water we feel the magic surrounding us , flowing thru us, from us to us. 
May this sound journey be a guide to your new moon ritual, as the first glimpse of the moonlight upon the water from wonderful storyteller https://soundcloud.com/guaraci_uirapuru . 
We happily welcome him from Brazil into our musical family and hope that y'all will enjoy this beautiful story as much as we do. 
          ✨🐌🎶🐢✨

About this journey:
In the past 1.5 years, time passes differently than before. Slower and faster at the same time. No one was really prepared for this form of a global pandemic, a global crisis. It’s a long and tough wait, sometimes hoping and fearing. Existences are threatened directly or indirectly. For me, it also shows how little capacity the global North has in dealing with existential crises. Norms and moral boundaries are shifting, revealing all their ambiguity and hypocrisy. Many people in the global South are still waiting for vaccines, and here millions are not getting vaccinated out of irrational fears and assumptions. Terms like dictatorship are grossly distorted. Freedom is demanded, but it means selfishness, lack of empathy, bossiness and malice. There’s a loud and aggressive, hyperpivileged minority that screams the loudest. But people die in silence. A simple and frightening logic.  It is a matter of time. It is about patience. It's about courage. About renunciation. About each and every one. What exactly music and art can achieve in this disturbing time, we all define.

About this journey :
I created this folktronicast, tribal electro mixtape a few days after an operation in the hospital, during the time of my healing...
In my head I had the global healing, the wish and hope for an end to wars, oppression, violence, persecution, flight, destruction and famine...
for a common path where we do not hurt everyone, others and ourselves, but respect them...
not against each other, but
for togetherness, even if we seem to be so different, 
we are one family
for love and peace, in love, in peace
peace from leipzig, germany

Tales of Yesterday

Logam Bunga

HQ download

In a world that increasingly seems to rush into madness and self destruction, it’s our pleasure to present music that can remind us of peace and harmony, hope and love.
Played at SOL Gathering last year by our dear resident Don Juan Mezcal, this is a tale that reveals the potential of the ancient art of feminine chanting and celebration.

May we remember that feminine-oriented systems would have shaped a planet of cooperation, acceptance, and sharing — one that likely wouldn’t be facing the impossible challenges that lie ahead.
We came the wrong way, but we can still change by saving nature, living out of the cities, gathering around the fire, planting our food, teaching our children unconditional love for all beings. It is possible. Let's do it.

Thank you for this most beautiful story dear Tom :)
