We've heard about sound healing with Tibetan bowls, tuning forks, and Chakra bowls, but today we are discussing the power of New Age music when listened to intentionally with producer and artist David Vito Gregoli. And you will hear here, some of Vito's soundbites from his latest work. What is New Age music? It's a tremendously large sector of music often used in yoga classes, massage and spas, but the unique quality of New Age is that it speaks to your heart and brings you to a state of internal awareness. This is music that doesn't tell you how to feel, but allows you to feel what you feel.Many people think New Age is limiting to those who only practice alternative therapies or traditions, but this is a new kind of love song. World influence, chanting, ambient, flowing, dramatic and healing would be words that come to mind in describing this beautiful genre.Vito's musical journey began in Pop, Rock and Blues. By the time he was in his teens, he was already hailed as a guitar virtuoso and working regularly in the L.A. club scene. He later studied classical music and received a Bachelors in Music from CSUN. Vito's latest release is with 2x Grammy winner and environmentalist Ricky Kej. “Wild Monsoon” drops in June 2022. It's a eclectic blend of World Beat and New Age.Ricky and Vito paired last on Vito's “Om Land” album.Vito brings integrity and unique artistry to music that defies pigeon-holes. "I have the ability to hear something in everything I can see round the bend when someone plays me an idea. That inspires me in the job of Producer." For more of Vito's work, go here. For more information about Leah's work, please go here.
David Vito Gregoli: By his teens, Vito was already hailed as a guitar virtuoso and working in the L.A. club scene. He later studied classical music and received a Bachelors in Music. Introduced to Meditation at 13, and later Yoga, this in turn exposed him World instruments, like sitar and charango. His interests in the healing power of music led to his expansive experiments in New Age music, like “Primordial Sonics". He's had the privilege of working with New Age artists as Constance Demby, Jai Uttal, Deepak Chopra, Steven Halpern and Donna De Lory…and Ricky Kej. Ricky Kej: Ricky's awards include the United Nations “Global Humanitarian Artist” award and is conferred with the title “Youth Icon of India”. ‘Real Leaders', the United Nations named Ricky Kej as one of the 100 Real Leaders who ‘Inspire the Future'. The House of Commons, Parliament of Canada awarded Ricky for his “Outstanding Musical and Humanitarian Achievement”. Ricky Kej is also a professor at the prestigious National Institute of Advanced Studies. “My music is an extension of my personality and beliefs” www.VitoGregoliMusic.com www.RickyKej.com

Stewart Copeland is a talk show/podcast host's dream. Especially when that host is newly recovering from Omicron. A natural story teller with a boundless engaging and joyful energy left me only wanting more time to talk to the legendary drummer and now 5 time Grammy winner after taking home Best New Age Album for Divine Tides, his collaborative effort with Indian composer Ricky Kej at the 64th annual Grammy Awards! We talk about his humble beginnings starting out idolizing his brother which lead him to play in his first band, traveling the world, his secret desire to be a guitarist, his knowledge of touring and running a band which helped him when he was in The Police, building a community and space for his buddies to jam in, being the “Hendrix” for up and comers, his idols growing up, navigating social media, giving advice to his kids, composing music for Spyro The Dragon, his relationship with Sting, the passing of Taylor Hawkins and what he describes as being “Open Season” on drummers and so much more. It was a true honor getting to speak with him. Enjoy!

Ricky Kej is one of the few Indians who's ever won a Grammy in music. It's a huge deal. And a huge honour to have him wandering in our midst here in Bangalore, shedding inspiration and encouragement to other musicians as he walks the streets of the city.He's not shedding alone. Because Ricky has two dogs, shedding right alongside him.Both of them were quite literally rescued by him before his neighbours tossed them out for various reasons. He doesn't think of them with hatred in his heart – as I would (his neighbours). He's altogether too kind-hearted, in my opinion. You'll see what I mean as we start talking. He loves The Indie Dog (not the pod cast, although I hope he does) but the actual dog we call the Indie. He has been a lone and successful crusader for the indie dog, long before he won any Grammy, long before he became famous, back in 2009. He's kinda did the impossible… changed the system and the attitude legally, setting a precedent in law. It's odd because although I've met Ricky on several occasions, a friend's place, I never knew his how he felt about dogs. We would usually talk about music and videos and other things that interest us both. He's a very funny guy and usually has me in stitches. But then I saw some pictures on his insta, with his dog in the pool. The dog was a goldie… but something told me there was more to it.

I talk with Grammy Award winning Ricky Kej, about his new collaboration with Stewart Copeland, from The Police, which has received a grammy nomination for this years Grammys, in New age Category. 'DIVINE TIDES' by rock-legend Stewart Copeland (The Police) and Ricky Kej features artists from all over the world - Soundscapes and melodies meet pulsating rhythms amidst lush ambient textures, which elevate the senses into a realm of spiritual solitude, where the soul is free - one with itself, one with time, one with our planet. All individuals are interconnected and the decisions one makes affects all life around us. Each individual life plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance that serves all equally. 'DIVINE TIDES' illustrates these thoughts through its diverse musical canvas that showcases a world where we can adapt to change, just like the moving tides - a world in which all life can live sustainably and in harmony.

‘LED BY THE LIGHT' conceptualized in 2017, is an album of traditional Christmas carols; an essay with global musical flavours. The arrangements encompass energetic rhythms, a splash of festive chants, sargams, percussion et al, bringing on new shades and hues in the embellishments. As with any recording production, this too was a work in progress as we explored the suggestions made and even ventured down paths less trod. Musicians came aboard once arrangements were in place, and every one of them gave of their expertise, adding their own special touch to the album that comprises a dozen carols, including a medley. Yes, it's different! The bansuri and smooth strings weave into the familiar strains of ‘Silent Night', sargams decorate the tranquil flow of ‘Away in a Manger', spirited percussion finds company in ‘God rest ye Merry Gentlemen' and more. Tradition remains tradition, while it absorbs and integrates the subtleties of the lands it traverses… as the Magi followed the star, as the shepherds heard the angels, as the radiant beams shone from the manger, as that cold, wintry night brings Light to the world, year after year. This Hallowed Season heralds that same Peace, Love and Joy, as the world rises once again… world without end! This record features renowned musicians who have performed and recorded with some of the finest artists in India and around the world. We have had the privilege to share stage with them and are indeed honoured and grateful for their impeccable, magic touch on ‘Led by the Light'. Dominic D'Cruz is a musician based in Bengaluru, India, who over the last thirty years, has done everything connected with music - performance, composition, songwriting, teaching, and recording… even worked in a music store. His music has received accolades – finalist in the SDG Action Award for ‘My Earth Songs' – a collaboration with Grammy® Award winning artist Ricky Kej and Lonnie Park, Outstanding Lyricist Award in the Redemptorists' Music Video Festival, an Akademia Award, and a Global Music Award. He played bass guitar on two Grammy® Nominated albums - ‘Love Language' by Wouter Kellerman, and ‘Divine Tides' by Stewart Copeland & Ricky Kej, and continues to work in the studio and on stage in varied roles – bassist, guitarist, songwriter, vocalist, choir conductor among others. Jerusha Lawrence-D'Cruz started singing in church choral groups at a young age and developed a keen interest in harmony. She has been a part of Neecia Majolly's choirs since 2004 – ‘The Camerata', ‘The Majolly Music Trust Choir', ‘Madrigals, Etc.' and ‘Femusica' – with notable performances including ‘Carmina Burana', Mozart's Requiem, Handel's Messiah, traditional folk music and more.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Lonnie Park and Grammy® winner Ricky Kej over Zoom video! "Ricky Kej and an amazing group of musicians are joining us to inspire. They're calling on us all to imagine a better world for every child."– Henrietta H. Fore, Executive Director, UNICEFIn June of this year, more than 25 million viewers in 75 countries watched the My Earth Songs Virtual Live Concert, a global initiative with Vivendi in support of UNICEF COVID-19 relief for children. Music from this remarkable family concert, spearheaded by Lonnie Park and the Earth Band and Grammy® winner Ricky Kej, features an all-star cast of Grammy winners and was then released as an album titled My Earth Songs on August 28, 2020, with all proceeds going to UNICEF.Artists represented on My Earth Songs include six Grammy winners from around the world: United Nations Global Humanitarian Artist Ricky Kej from India, legendary Senegalese singer Baaba Maal (voice of the Wakandan soundtrack for the Black Panther movie), U.S. family musicians Lucy Kalantari and Jon Samson, South African flutist Wouter Kellerman, and two-time Grammy winner Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea. Also featured are the Earth Band’s primary artist/frontman, Grammy-nominated American singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lonnie Park; Grammy-nominated Canadian flutist Ron Korb; and Global Music Award winning Indian bassist and composer Dominic D'Cruz.My Earth Songs delivers complex topics in bite-sized chunks packed with meaning that children can effortlessly assimilate. Every one of these fun, positive, and super singalong-able songs has a catchy tune with simple, memorable lyrics. Focusing on what’s needed to ensure a clean, green world for generations to come, each track was inspired by one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.“My work with Ricky Kej has seen us performing at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and Geneva, the WHO headquarters, and at UNICEF and UNESCO events,” explains My Earth Songs’ co-creator, Lonnie Park. “As we witnessed complicated issues playing out on the world stage, it became apparent that getting adults to adopt new practices is difficult, but if we could teach the children early about taking care of each other and the planet, it could literally change the world. The best way we knew how to make that happen was through music.”“Ever since I won my Grammy Award in 2015, I have dedicated my life and music to creating environmental consciousness and climate change awareness,” says Ricky Kej. “My Earth Songs aims at enlightening children through music, igniting in them a spark to spread consciousness among everyone with whom they interact. This young movement will spur a revolution to restore our planet and help it breathe easy again!”My Earth Songs sets the pace with its sparkling, energetic opening track, “Shine Your Light,” which features the Mzansi Youth Choir, an ensemble that was established to provide opportunities for underprivileged South African children, particularly in Soweto. Other highlights include the multicultural “Born from the Land,” with lead singer Lonnie Park sharing the spotlight with famed Senegalese vocalist Baaba Maal, who presents soaring reflections in his native Fula language. “She Can Do,” a song that celebrates breaking down gender-based stereotypes, features Lucy Kalantari in a vocal performance loaded with verve. “In the Waterworld” showcases the jewel-like Mexican mariachi perfection of Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea. With his elegant phrasing, Jon Samson really illustrates the poetry within the relaxed ballad “Breathe Life,” which is beautifully complimented by Ron Korb’s Bansuri flute. “Bicycle Day” celebrates the world’s most efficient non-polluting mode of transportation through the artistry of famed flutist Wouter Kellerman and the clarity and storytelling confidence of Lonnie Park’s vocals.Visit: https://www.myearthsongs.com/We want to hear from you!

THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY THE INTREPID GROUP, THE TOUR COMPANY PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE, EXPERIENCE RICH TRAVEL.

The Story Behind the Song's Peter Csathy is back to talk to legendary The Police drummer Stewart Copeland to talk about "Roxanne."Definitely known as "The Police Song," "Roxanne" is a song that changed the fortunes of the English rock band The Police.
