Jaya Lakshmi  – Kirtronica – 12:30am

Inspired by the profound mood of devotional Indian singing and music, Jaya Lakshmi began leading kirtan with harmonium and 12 string guitar and writing her own devotional songs in the early 1990′s on the island of Hawaii, shortly after she received harinam initiation from Srila Govinda Maharaj. Her potently spirited voice and high energy kirtans have generated waves of love throughout communities in the islands of Hawaii, the west coast, and Europe, always creating a deep sense of intimacy with the divine.She shines as a unique artist with her blending of traditional kirtan and original devotional songs influenced by Americana/Celtic folk and world trance music. Jaya Lakshmi is also well known as the lead singer and songwriter for the band ‘Lost at Last’ a popular high energy electronica tribal trance experience that toured extensively in the western US from 1997- 2005.  Her four solo CDs ‘Ocean of Mercy’ (2003), ‘Jewel of Hari’ (2004), ‘Sublime’ (2008), and ‘Radiance’ (2009) are available on Sequoia Records.

Saturday Night

Freedom and Al Torre – 11:15pm

Freedom is an ancient soul, a mystic word master who has been gifted with poetry and songs meant to help heal the nations, awake the sleepers and share the visions of the Native Grandfathers and Grandmothers. Wake up and Live! He has been an arrow catcher in his walk and a shadow dancer. His light is bright and meant to shine far and wide. Those who have forgotten there is good medicine magic in this world remember when they hear Freedom sing and play. This experience is enhanced by the wonderful musicians and friends who pour their hearts, souls, minds and bodies into this music. They are members of the ever shape shifting Freedom Tribe. Powerful messengers in their own right they lovingly join Freedom in the making of music magic. So great is their love for this music that after they leave the stage they often play into the wee hours of the morning. What a wonder it is for the fortunate ones who are present for these gatherings. Freedom and Al Torre, of the original Freedom Tribe, will be playing a late night, soulful acoustic set. We expect them to stick around for a very late night around the Casbah campfire, with songs and jams.
