I am traveling with Music at my root!

Dear Readers,

I am so happy to say that life is making me as the wind, free to express and change direction at whim. I am currently offered options to go to Spain, Hawaii, Mexico, and possible all - with music at the forefront. Lots going on here in the beautiful city of SF. The BMF just took place and was epic. Some footage is being edited with all the highlights as I type, but for now, here is a tidbit of video for you to watch:

Justin Ancheta Performs Bicycle Music Festival 2010

With some help from Lady-luck, Hawaii is coming October 21st-24th, North shore, Oahu. After meeting great people like John Cruz and Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo, I'll be joining them for this healing event on the island, helping with performance and sound healing.

Ticket Link: Hawaii Spirit Festival 2010

I also am considering joining the pleasant revolution for 3 weeks in France & Spain, however, I am in need of some funding help. Once I get there, things should be fine, but I just need to get the ticket there and back to make it happen. If you would like to donate anything towards the $1000 ticket necessary to make this trip happen, please paypal me. I will make sure that I share the revolution updates with you and how we are slowly making a difference all over the world.

The Pleasant Revolution has been touring Eurpoe now since June 2010, and will be staying over there playing festivals through November. I am interested in helping my dear friends with music along the way and creating amazing pedal powered shows to show the strength of our generation and sustainable practices that we can start adopting in all aspects of our life. So, please donate some $ to ease your mind that some very strong individuals are banding together to make a difference ALL over the world, and YOU can help me join them. Thanks, that's all :  )


Some great moments that only can be grasped by being there:

Travis on Drums, Justin on guitar/singing, Alex on Sax,
Jonathon on Trumpet. On the 'wiggle' of SF CA 2010 BMF!

Until next time, in love with life, Justin Ancheta.

Life and the timeline.

Desire fades as death nears. An elder learns that life is to live when life is here, and it is to relinquish when the time comes. I dig my feet into the sand, wet my pallet with the moist air from ocean waves, and dive my entire body into the essence of this moment. darkness surrounds; hungry with a full belly. relaxed with anxiety ready to boil over. at ease, yet ready to pounce. My prey seems to be my poor soul, devouring from the inside. Yes, sustaining. I am here as I am, no one can take that from me. Change my being and I can just be me in this world, no matter what. that is my true ease. Direction or directionless, Finding iN-FoRmaTion to be Re-FoRmeD as my soul expands breathe by breathe, My temporal body is deteriorating quickly, only prolonged by the love and compassion I give and tend to - my feet. Closest to the earth. My shakras cry for stability but understand that waves do not hit shore without movement. Ups and down like the eb and flow of my being. I am moveable. I am energy. I see through facades and I am connected to the divine.

Hawaii Spirit Festival.

Great news! - I'm going to Hawaii y'all in October for a Festival with good friends and good people. Hope you can make it out! Family? - Just got done with Bay Vibes festival in SF which went off great. thanks so much for coming out. I have been working hard networking with like-minded musicians and creating collaborations.

It is so hot! 3 days straight of the most amazing SF weather I have scene. You can jump in the water and swim around and not freeze your cajones off. Anyone that is interested in an intimate gathering tomorrow (wednesday the 25th of August) - please email me why you would want to come : ) justinancheta7@gmail.com and I'll tell you the details. Food, wine, beer, music. SF ca. please bring donations for artists.

I remember

When I was nothing
I was happy
Like the stone formed
thousands of years, nothing.
Now something
I carry myself
into light and darkness proud.
Creator and created
All surrounding - as one
With this gift of life inside me
I let go of inhibition
to heal, create, destroy,
love, surrender...
huble and affectionate
I connect in ancestry
Mother earth and father sun
Stars shining for us all to dance under
Anger a weapon
but not as strong as love
I bound to safety
at the same time throwing my soul in
front of calamity
Chaos my friend,
I tap into ancestry
to heal wounds
Making whole
separate and as one
A gift.
