02 07 24 Ecstatic Dance Oakland by JÄMI published on 2024-02-13T00:32:38Z Over the past several months I've been really inspired by some of the incredible music contained within this ecstatic dance set. In fact, so inspired that I created a little mini tour of California so that I could bring this music to more people. It's a deep dive into some of the potent alchemical music that is bubbling out of Nigeria and South Africa right now, Creating a potent vortex of transformation invoking the elements and ancestors on the dance floor. Bringing us through a meditation on gratitude and expanding that out worldwide into higher tempo Drum&Bass from the UK by Jersey & Fred Again... and then full circle back into the African hybrid prayer of Jon Baptiste. This is a full spectrum journey that was first born out of the dance floor at Kalani and found it's fullest expression landing here in Oakland at Sweets Ballroom where I could feel the likes of John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Aretha and others that have blessed the air inside since the opening in 1920. Truly an honor to play ecstatic dance here at this EPIC VENUE where it has been going strong since 2008!

Thank You Jami for Sharing your Magic with us! Too bad the recording didn't pick up your drumming, which took it to another level! 2024-02-13T01:18:15Z
