Ever heard of Grace Nono? Filipina Vocalist

 I had the fortune of meeting her, along with the many culture bearers present, at the 2nd International Baybaylan Conference in 2013.  She sang on a few occasions as a part of her presentations. I remember closing my eyes that first time, preparing to receive her voice...only to be suddenly jerked open in wonderment and awe at its power!  It wasn't so much that I was surprised that it would be so full of energy and prowess, but I was certainly shocked...almost literally.
 As an expert and academic on the subject of Filipino music genre, she was kind to answer an inquiry of mine on the origins of a mysterious pinoy lullaby from my childhood.

 I find her music exceptional.  If you haven't already, please check it out.

Apache, Puerto Rican and Filipino ancestry.  Music is his healing modality.  It brings into harmony all that seems separate.  The individual experience of cultural-diversity along with generational disconnection is not unique.  I am always grateful for the reminder.  And more so, that there are others who are empowered through such struggles of identity.


Listened to this about ten times today.
This morning I lay in bed until 3pm, tossing and turning, lacking the will to rise.
I had been depressed in grief, driven by the tragedy in Boston the other day, struck by the reality that is our human condition.
Finally friends made connection and essentially pulled me out from hiding to climb on local rock.
Whilst collecting rope and all necessary gear for sport climbing, I checked a Skype message from Moon.
Her words were healing and included the link that lead to YouTube.
