LET KINDNESS LEAD YOU, by Rozalina Gutman @ O'Malleys' Home, Berkeley, CA, USA
We Are All One: join your voices in the symbolic SING-ALONG virtual chorus and PASS our Oneness message to your friends. All religious streams of thought and the modern neuroscience agree that KINDNESS is the vehicle of the social evolution that is currently disproportionately disregarded over the material wealth.
When we hurt someone or allow someone to be hurt, we create the dissonance of disbalance and hurt the Universe, which is the source that sustains us all. So, we end up hurting ourselves, by hurting someone.
The sense of lacking oneness is propelled by the disconnect, resulting from the deepening separateness, encouraged by the technological revolution. The raising pace and stress of the age of information further promotes unkind patterns, while the high value are lost among the corrupt leadership of our country, that is run by the corporate greed and the thirst for power.
Repair the World is the translation of Tikkun Olam from Aramaic/Hebrew. This ancient centuries-old Kabbalah teaching had served as the foundation for the Social Justice Movement and it calls to realize the personal power of the individual to make positive changes in personal and communal lives. It encourages the humble recognition of the mistakes, contrary to the dwelling in the state of denial, both in interpersonal and social interactions.
Join us in our planetary SING-ALONG call to stop our addiction to our self-destructive patterns that end up ruling our personal and communal lives. And, pass this musical message of Unity to your friends.
[Rozalina Gutman is internationally acclaimed music educator and passionate advocate for good causes-through-music. She had presented at various int'l conferences, including leading Int'l Symposium on Advocacy for Music Education through Brain/Music Research at the 29th World Conference of ISME. She is accomplished pianist and also had won Best Performance Award in the West Coast Songwriters Contest at the famous Freight and Salvage for her new song Fearless Love (that addresses the negative effects of improper statin medication usage, resulting in the onset of dementia symptoms.)

Ranky Tanky Best Regional Roots Music Album GRAMMY® Nominee
Since their formation, the Charleston five-piece Ranky Tanky have established themselves as global ambassadors for their tight-knit local community, bringing the West African-influenced sounds of the South Carolina Lowcountry around the world - including the TODAY Show stage and the top of the Billboard genre charts. Now, Ranky Tanky will take the next step in that journey, bringing Gullah music to the GRAMMYs for the first time ever with the news that their most recent release Good Time has been nominated for Best Regional Roots Album this year.
Gullah is a centuries-old sound that has been carried down through generations in the Sea Islands of the Southeastern United States, originated by African Americans in coastal South Carolina and Georgia during slavery and faithfully preserved by their descendants up through the present day. In Ranky Tanky's hands, Gullah music has been described as soulful honey to the ears (NPR), and now this essential yet too little known corner of the African American story will finally be represented on Music's Biggest Night.
Watch Ranky Tanky perform their original Gullah song “Freedom” from Good Time on The TODAY Show:
Ranky Tanky’s Charlton Singleton explains the origins of the Gullah community, Gullah music and how the group has boldly kept their West African heritage thriving through generations:
Most recently, Ranky Tanky were the subjects of a 10-page profile in Oxford American as part of an issue dedicated to the musical history of South Carolina. The feature concludes that “Ranky Tanky’s offering to American music history is distinct – it encases the traditional in carefully built, geometric layers of funk that protect us from forgetting this music, no matter where or how we are moved from this land.” Read the profile in full here:
Previously, Ranky Tanky have been praised by NPR for “bringing freshness and uplift to overlooked Americana,” and Garden & Gun have said if Ranky Tanky doesn’t get you moving, you might want to check your heartbeat. Around their 2017 self-titled debut album, Ranky Tanky sat down with Terry Gross on Fresh Air to discuss all things Gullah. Listen to that informative interview here:
Ranky Tanky will continue to tour Good Time into 2020, including a late January run through Southern California, and a much anticipated hometown show with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra on March 12.
