It was after I saw Christy’s little write up on Facebook
that I decided I would go to Gaiagrooves. I’ve rarely seen him write anything
this personal and passionate on Facebook like this, other than about his family so I figured
it must be something worth while.
Gaiagrooves is a charity event organized by Malika, themed
around the well being of our world, or Gaia. An interpretation of the several
educational presentations could be that the grooves referred to all the damage
we do to forests and the environment, but it really came down to some fine
musicians coming together to create enough of an attentive audience for the
cause
Who showed a true interest in the earths flora an fauna
On drums Eddy Layman
Keys Wei Tan
Bass Christy Smith
Vocals Richard Jackson
Keys Abrahams
And Mal Gaia herself
The setting was Blu Jaz second floor. I don’t know if it was the occasion or me just not understanding my
camera but the coloring of the whole affair in general had a bit of a green
hue.
With Richard leading the band into some fantastic tunes as
usual and Christy providing some cool back ground vocals,
the mood was good and
I got to learn a little bit about where the haze actually comes from. It is
scary to realize that it will be a tough thing to avoid. Many of the fires are
not even deliberate and they are all tough to control or kill.
But as many of these events go, the misery is quickly
forgotten and we move on to listen to some more music with Keys Abrahams attending the microphone
Or Mal Gaia, who took on the challenge of her first public
singing appearance with skill and courage, and accomplished it with confidence.
I hope that was not her only accomplishment and that there
was money made for the good cause. Because at the end of it all it’s all about
the green!
