The focus of these ecstatic-dance journeys is African, Brazilian and Afro-Latin music, in various genres and styles.

As i'm recovering from an injury, this was recorded at home.

Highlights:

- 'Saya' by Sona Jobarteh - a classical melodic afro-folk song
- L'Entourloop remix of a truely multicultural song - reggae, hip-hop, north african singing, jewish klezemr influences, Brazilian rapping, and more
- A melodic jazz piece by Bobby McFerrin
- Tropical house by Kiko Navarro
- A remix of a samba anthem by Brazilian group Pinduca

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

This was played at The Landing for their annual Midsummer's Daydream event. It is an ecstatic dance, and contains explicit lyrics in the Outkast track. It's spiced with sensual tracks and will fit an outdoor dance at the peak of summer well. Photo Credit to David Block.

Track info is annotated in the comments.

Calling upon the four directions is the usual way to begin any shamanic ceremony.
Each direction is associated with an element of the natural world and represents some part of human nature too.

We begin in the East. The element of the East is air. The East is associated with new beginnings, awakening, learning, curiosity, and new ideas. When you're feeling beholden to a routine - look eastward.
We then move around the wheel to the South.
The element of the South is fire - heat and light, transformative force, powerful change, joy, and peace.
Next, we arrive in the West.
The element of the West is water. In the West, we experience our emotions, which flow through our lives. When we dam our feelings, just like we dam the water, the pressure builds up until it finds an outlet.
This direction calls us to self-reflection and self-understanding. 
Continuing around the circle we move to the North.
The element of the North is earth. The North represents stability, grounding, and well-being. It's the place that holds us and allows us time and space to heal and grow. It's a place of rest and recovery.

In this sound journey, we are moving through these four directions.
I invite you to turn toward the direction that calls to you today.
