Tree Eye, Tree Gong waiata tangi a song of mourning for Gaza.  20 January 2024

We all share an experience of someone we have loved very much, who we grew up with, went to school together, but yesterday they died in an airstrike. These are real live children and families who are living in this truama daily. I have carefully choosen some very special musicians. A percussionist who is able to capture the violence of the airstrikes and leveling out of the mourning song through other instrumental portals, such as the violin, the taonga puoro, acoustic guitarist, a wailer the singer and composer. You will soon hear our song of the higher mind, vibration which heals the soul, body and spirit.

The children of Gaza who has survived are war ophans. This song is especially for them. This song is their sphere of spirit, souls, eyes and ears watching out for them from now on. We must manifest more opportunities. The Palestians need us right now to be the most important voice for them. I hope you will be part of this journe. The song by tree eyes, the tree gong song singer of song of mourning. mourning. Hence I extend to you all a warmest welcome to do my meditations while I listen and look for the deepest vibration appropriate for mourning. When we mourn together as a people, we are awake to our failings and errors. Peace thrives in a camp of joy and happiness, there is no sorrow but deep peace, bitterness or anger. I urge you to donate towards this worthy ancient of art form.
