"Shimshai's music emanates a divine presence and a quality of peace, a truly 'natural mystic' energy that flows into the hearts of his listeners.
His musicality is superb, as is that of his bandmates, and his singing is sublime and transcendent."
-Jai Uttal

Shimshai & Seraphim Sound System LIVE. Shimshai & Seraphim Sound System have a huge underground following spanning the globe. Shimshai's blend of Reggae, Jazz, Kirtan, South American music and folk, is infused with a world beat influence presented with high energy bass, drums and keys and often various other instruments.
Fans in Israel, Columbia, BC, Australia, Europe and especially the Western US flock to Shimshai’s performances for a high energy spiritual music experience.

Shimshai has played at countless festivals around the world such as Earthdance, and Harmony Festival in California and sharing the stage with such luminaries as Michael Franti, David Grisman, Mickey Hart, Jai Uttal, Ram Dass, Deepak Chopra, Bhagavan Das, Dezarie & members of Midnite, Hamsa Lila, Sasha Butterfly, Youssoupha Sidibe and many other gifted musicians.

Surrounded by music from birth and formally trained on piano in his native state of Washington, today Shimshai performs effortlessly on guitar, sitar, flute, and a variety of woodwinds. He plays many of the instruments on his self-composed and self-produced albums.

Seraphim Sound System is the official moniker of drum and bass duo Julian Fritz and Timi Marshall. After years of gigging together with Shimshai, and various groups in the bay area music scene, it seemed fitting to make an official back up band, a' la Sly and Robbie. Their shared love of funk, reggae, dub, hip-hop, and electronic musics brings a powerfully full and unique sound that is signature, and reflective of their personalities. Frequent collaborator Asher Fulero will be joining them on keyboards, adding serious dimension creating a special chemistry.

Weekend of December 3-5, 2010

Music, Ceremony, Prayer: Reconnecting with Your Heart and Purpose
Shimshai & Susana Hernandez

...Shimshai and Susana invite you to partake in ceremonial practices from the hoop of life that reconnect us to our essence, and help us find clarity, perspective, and purpose.

In this retreat we'll journey to the inner world to examine ourselves, our outdated belief systems, and the habitual patterns that keep us from moving forward in our lives. Through meditation, healing ceremony, and guiding music, we learn how to pray, and by living in that prayer we can find our essence—an awakened center from which to ground our daily lives and our divine work.

Each day, we'll form ceremonial circles of sharing and discussion led by Shimshai and Susana. Drawn from indigenous traditions of North and South America, including Susana's native Colombia, these practices are a powerful invitation to reconnect with your heart, spiritual being, purpose, and Mother Earth. Our journey together also includes silent meditation, small vision quests, journaling, and a special sacred water ceremony with music and prayer to honor the spirit of the water that surrounds us, especially the healing waters of Esalen. Shimshai’s live music will provide a loving backdrop and support to the truth of life we are searching to find.
