Search - Martin Klabunde :: Portal Opening

This CD is comprised of rhythms using traditional African drums from Mali, Guinea and Uganda. All tracks are percussion based. Instruments include: djembes, dununs, Krin, Kalimba, Mbutus, Mpunyes, Nankasas, etc. Music plays an important role in healing, it allows our spirit to move into the spirit world for healing to occur. Sound waves are vehicles of energy that are capable of carrying more than just sound. We can infuse sound with our intentions of gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, humility and unconditional love. These are powerful tools of healing that can transform. As spiritual beings, we have the ability to access multidimensional time and space. With pure intentions we can use time to help us in our quest for healing. A key to the door of multidimensional time is the drum and we can use the drum to access universal time. The intention of this CD is to create an opening (portal) into other worlds with the intention of unconditional love, forgiveness, peace and humility for all beings. Special thanks to The Big Spirit, The Masters, Pedro and the tribe for their unconditional love and support in teaching me about service, humility, compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, detachment, love, life and death.You may find this listening experience unique, in that you may be more of a participant than observer.
