“Fantuzzi is a global troubadour whose music touches my heart. [His music] is a moving expression of the Bhakti [devotional] path” - Ram Dass

A near-mythical creature whose natural habitat often manifests as a haze of ecstatic music, dance and joyous vibrations at spirit festivals around the globe... Fantuzzi is a world-class musical star, MC and host who is charismatic, funny, sensual and heart-moving.

Puerto-Rican, born in New York, Fantuzzi early on discovered the joy of drum, dance and song, leveraging the performing arts to escape the city streets. Leaving New York at the age of 16, he hitch-hiked around the United States for three years before heading to England, Europe and beyond.

Pursuing a journey of ecstatic exploration and a mission to share joy, love & delight in life with others wherever and however he can, Fantuzzi has been a part of many musical and spiritual festivals, often from inception, including Burning Man, BhaktiFest (CA), Earthdance (global), Bali Spirit Fest, Into The Wild/Wildheart (UK), Glastonbury (UK), and Harmony Fest (USA). He was at the first Woodstock festival and his iconic photograph was used by Newsweek magazine as their front cover to symbolize the essence of the sixties generation.

“Fantuzzi is rediscovering the lost language of ecstasy” - Prem Baba

Fantuzzi makes his home in Hawaii where he has, over many years, built up an off-grid Sanctuary in the rainforest of the volcanic Big Island. Here he hosts small gatherings and retreats when not travelling the world.

Jared May - bass boss.

About JaRed:

Brilliant, evocative, powerful, soulful bass. Jared has played with many musicians, the likes of Donna De Lory, Catherine Scholz, Johanna Beekman and Fantuzzi of course.

(I stole this from Simrit with whom Jared has played):

"Introducing Jared May, our maestro bass player of the band.... aka J-Rad. First of all, it takes a badass bass player to be able to hold it down with such a deep and groovin’ pocket with such amazing tone( and We LOVE Jared’s choices of notes, feels, and fills) .... to hear and feel that fat and deep tone bass... and Jared is a master at delivering that kind of sound. Super soulful, super innovative with his creative choices, his phrasing and his overall sound... he can really dig in strong... with grit and fantastic tone... and we all love that! Nothing like a super strong and satisfying backbone to the music! And he also sings a super sweet harmony..."
