Past 2010
In Santa Cruz:

10/10/10/ CD Release for Aliah & Paz's Sacred Jamband
Spiral on....
:



For the Spiral on.. HOMEWORLD CD release party Aliah did a healing on a dear healer friend as she danced around her... to the new CD music... together with others... who blessed our planet on 10/10/10.

This CD is being set to video images... so that it will be between segments on the band's new Web/TV Show: CREATIVE EVOLUTION

Aliah improvised over dubs at Gagetbox studios...
the owner is a dear friend - Andy Z - is a dear friend who they jammed with years ago in Austin
where Paz & Aliah made 10 years of TV & Music.

So Andy, Gabe, and Patrick -all brilliant engineers who brought a cosmic blend of old and new to life on
Spiral on... HOMEWORLD.
A magical offering of funk-rock spoken word with layered vocal harmonies on an ongoing Jam that features
Steve Burnal (one of Austin's gifted Bassists who played in countless Austin Legendary bands - Joe Rockhead, Billy White Trio, and so many others - really - he even has been given his own day from the Mayor of Austin)
offering his mind blowingly awesome fretless Bass lines...
just before he moved on to cello.
Perhaps he will add some cello in the future?

She has also been focusing on choreographing
new music videos for 3 of her songs from the
SHADES OF IMAGES CD.

Aliah is developing a new style of dance
for these videos that she calls:

QI GONG SACRED SIGN DANCING:
blending Qigong, Sacred Mudras,
& Sign Language with Modern Dance
Her VH1 style music videos are going to be in an artistic documentary film COCREATING.US
that will be a segment on the Web/TV Show:
CREATIVE EVOLUTION

This new show will showcase visionary artists
of all kinds will be showcased - and interviews
with who are evolving creatively
and inspiring others to do the same.

-Past 2006 Gigs-
In The SF Bay Area CA (Berkeley):

Dec 9th Saturday at 3:00-9:00 Personal Source World Peace Holiday Bazaar
A Special Thanks to all the wonderful folks who celebrated peace at the Personal Source Wellness Center

After watching the movie about Gandhi's life - we were inspired by wondering what he may have done to help support peace in this time in history.
We felt he would have dug those of all faiths coming together to pray for peace and later found out the Dali Lama suggested the same - what a blessing!


So that's what we did. We invited the Christian Bookstore owner on the right side of Personal Source and the Muslim Barber on the left side to come together,
and light a candle & pray
for peace. As part of this - we had these wonderful musicians come to bless the space with their songs, light a candle saying a prayer for peace:

Scott Kalenstein (New Thought Singer/Songwriter & Song Improvizationalist) Scott is intuitively guided with spontaneous songs that he co-creates with you.
He has many songs of his own as well, both funny and emotionally moving. He added a special magic to the event and got everyone singing & laughing together - such a gift!

Moral Integrity (Young Positive Rap Group) These gifted young brothers,
Tevah El Emmet (15) & Tahlib Rosheed (13) who are offering a new kind of rap that speaks to youth about making better choices in life - they're inspirational and very entertaining.

Spiral on... (Funky Earth Jams) Paz & Aliah rejoiced in a spontaneous vocal jam for the opening blessing and ended the evening with playing a cut off of their soulful passage of jams -
they played ZOOM POP - a sound that is continuing to evolve onward with over new dubs... all dedicated to peace and is being released on 11/11/11
.
