There was an empty space in which no heart could fill, it had been a long time coming but it would appear that he was now finally devoid of any one particular emotion. This was to be a blessing and a curse as he marched through the night with a sense of pride and dignity no criminal could contest. He was the night watchman and it was his job to feel little and act hard, to march to the beat of the system until there was little left of the rogues and tyrants in this deadbeat town...

PREMIERE: Herzel - Devoid [Compost Records]

This is whatever I want it to be when I need it.

Born in Germany and raised in Brazil, trying to combine the dark and deep northern roots with the mystical and tribal rhythms the project Gelber Schamane was summoned.

Yellow stands for the element air, for the thoughts and the spirit.
The sunshine is yellow and so the color of the sun, the light and symbolizes "bringing light into the dark".

But what are the shamans of our times?

In ancient cultures every village had a representative with a strong connection to the spiritual world. In certain cultures they were also called medicine mans. Their exercise was to take care of all spiritual concerns and the emotional well being of the tribe. To do so there were many activities. Usually a ceremony lasting several hours was held in the centre of the village, where the tribe met to sing and dance extraordinarily. During this rituals the shaman set the pace using a self-made drum.
Nowadays only a few of those cultures and comunities exists, but the spirit of Shamanism still lives on. It changed its face to gather people together at night to dance together and enjoy. 
The village square turned into cellars and festivals, the modern medicine people became DJ's, The ambience and the occasion may have changed, but the rhythmic beating of the drums has remained. It is literally in the hands of the disc jockeys which mood they create through their vibration. Accordingly, a great responsibility goes hand in hand with this task and calling as a neo-shaman.

Long as the music is respected, that’s what Rahbani is all about. 

Rahbani started from the simple thought of “if you can’t find ‘X’, create it”. X can be good music, events, or vibes in general. 

Rahbani spent years reading and contemplating rooms, artists and crowds, and he only believes his presence is necessary when the balance is not met.
