Pelvis is home, more than the head is home. That is what I learned in my massage career. Any thing that does optimize the dignity and vitality of pelvis as home can teach you that.
I have zero budget for live music events, normally. Some times free tickets to musical concerts show up at the street mission.
Last week I was walking on the sidewalk and saw a poster for a concert/dance event at a lovely old baroque theater just down the street from my shack. The photo grabbed me in a really urgent affirmation: Thou shalt go see this Israeli reggae band. No argument. Thou shalt go dance with others on the dance floor. Thou shall shake thine ass real good.
Eight guys from Tel Aviv, Israel. They all come from different places - Morroco, Ethiopia, Italy, Israel, all over the place. And they play and sing with unbelievable mastery and invention, fusing traditional Persian, Israeli, African rhythms and pure sweaty reggae cadence and texture.
Zvuloon Dub System is their name. I got rejuvenated and restored, defragmented and released into happiness. I recognized right away by the photo of the band on the poster that this was spiritual nourishment, not to be missed. I have not danced at all since the Montreal Jazz Festival, out in the street on a hot night.
I have discovered some concert videos that they have put on YT, and on their webpage. I was so, so, so knocked out by their heart, technical mastery, supercompetent delivery and Big Time Soul. Apperently they have been very well received in Jamaica. I want to read more about that.
They played with such huge sincerity. When you can dance on a sprung dance floor in the hardest part of the winter to music like that it is gonna restore your soul. Feed what is worthy, affirm the home in the pelvis. Dance your ass off.
I will notice that $25 is missing from my budget. However, I have to categorize this musical event, dance event as medicine and nourishment.
