Afro Tropical Ecstasy Dance |  Shivari  Ko PhaNgan May 2025

As part of my European tour, i stopped at Lausanne in Switzerland. 

The night before the gig, i was hanging out with Joel, the organizer of the ecstatic dance, and going over his vinyl collection. He suggested me to pull records by chance. One of those records was the soundtrack of the movie Mishima, by Philip Glass, a neo-classical composer i know and play a lot. The first track was just ok but the 2nd track was hypnotizing. We listened to it ove and over again.
So, naturally, i bought it and played at the ecstatic dance journey, alongside African, Brazilian, Afro-latin, Jazz, Trip-Hop, Tribal, and many other genres and styles.


Thank you Joel for having me and inspiring me to discover new music.

As an Ecstatic Dance Activist and Mentor, my mission is to Deepen the dance experience, Grow and diversify the community, and support the organizers and teams.

I'm inspired by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, life-long dancing and music-collecting, 20 years of traveling, and an extensive study, practice, and teaching of tantric yoga, personal development and conscious business.

I weave traditional, popular, organic and electronic music from cultures and ethnic groups around the world into dance journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.
