Under Water Frogs

Kaï KaÏ KaÏ & Balakou Lanya

(Verse 1)
A tiny world, a glistening sphere
A droplet hangs, so crystal clear
The sunlight catches, a million rays
Tiny lenses in many ways

(Verse 2)
The leaf below, a vibrant green
Veins like rivers, a hidden scene
This thirsty canvas, it drinks its fill
Life's essence flows, uphill

(Chorus)
Nature's beauty, a drop of grace
A tiny tear on a leafy face
A silent thirst, a life sustained
The cycle flows, forever chained
From dewdrop's kiss to vibrant bloom
A testament to life's sweet perfume
Each leaf a whisper, a story untold
A world unfolds, in morning's gold

(Verse 3)
From root to vein, the water climbs
A silent symphony, beating time
Each drop a promise, a whispered song
Of growth that's nurtured, where it belongs

(Verse 4)
From emerald bud to petals unfurled
The water's magic, transforming the world
A vibrant bloom, kissed by the sun
A life renewed, the cycle's begun...

Droplets

Sushumna is a music ensemble, which performs original songs, sacred mantras and devotional chants from different traditions and religions from around the world. They perform modern live acoustic music, with guitars, drumming and vocals, which help to remove the conscious mind and take participants into a state of bliss. 

Sushumna play a large spectrum of music including some that are slow inspirational pieces and others that are energetic and upbeat which invite those listening to be one with the sound and dance. Their music entices an abundance of happiness, joy and fun to those listening and participating in the gathering. It conveys a message of peace to the world and opens a channel of connection to the divine through opening of the heart and transformation of the self. 

Sushumna encourage people to interact with their music through Kirtan. Kirtan is a spiritual practice that originated from India. It is the technique of call and response singing whereby a person leads the chant and others call back to the leader in response. It draws in sacred energy and shifts blockages within the self, opening it to feeling more love, happiness and peace in our lives. The sounds are energy and they fill us with the vibrations of the divine, which unite us on a beautiful journey and take us back to the very essence and truth of our being.


Chamundaye Kali Ma

This is a very old song out of the Yoruban & Santeria traditions - Nigeria, Cuba, & Brazil. I learned recently that it is about those who serve the Orisha Oshun (sometimes Osun) and the brass bracelets they wore that Oshun asked them to rattle. This somehow managed to be mistakenly interpreted and shared by myself and many others as “necklace of love,” perhaps due to the devotees adoration of the Orisha. Oshun embodies love and sexuality and one of her elements is brass, which never rusts. One writer shares "To understand Osun is to know the intelligence, vitality, caring and nourishing abilities of womankind. Long-suffering, cheated, overlooked, and over-worked, but always committed to the survival of humanity. Besides signifying wealth, brass never rusts, it is eternal. In Osun, we have the embodiment of prosperity, love, beauty, elegance, sexuality and sensuality and a divinely sanctioned feminist.

This is a traditional song in the public domain. Choral arrangement copyright Lisa G. Littlebird, instrumental arrangement and guitar recorded by Aimee Ringle.
