They will be joined by percussionist and long-time collaborator Marlon Aldana on a variety of acoustic percussion instruments. Join us for a spirit filled uplifting evening of music, dance & prayer.

SHIMSHAI:

Whether singing the ancient Sanskrit mantras of India, age-old Hebrew prayers, traditional folklore of South America, or performing his original works of divine inspiration, Shimshai’s music invokes a sentiment of ancestral devotion and a dedication to higher consciousness. A self-proclaimed seeker of truth, described by many as possessing the voice of an angel, Shimshai is gifted with the innate ability to deliver his message flawlessly in several languages; most profoundly the universal language of Love and Oneness. Shimshai performs primarily on guitar though he is fluent on a variety of stringed, keyed and wind instruments and plays many of the parts on his self produced recordings. He has released a total 10 albums to date and continues to travel the world sharing his music and message.
