As many of
you know, for the past two years, Marla has been raising
funds and awareness to start a non-profit called “Rhythms in
Peace’, that would be dedicated to the education and
preservation of frame drumming traditions from around the
world. She was also raising money to fund the first products in
support of this non-profit, a collaborative global “peace CD”
and Educational Drumming DVD to feature musicians in Morocco,
Israel and the USA. Marla was commited to this vision, and
worked hard on promoting it, but was not able to raise the
proper funds to see it through properly thus far.
EXCITINGLY…An
upcoming “dream” WORLD TOUR for /Fall 2010 (Europe,
Japan, Israel & Australia), has been presented to Marla and
has decided to use the funds previously raised for the
non-profit, towards finishing her debut World Music Fusion CD,
“Rhythms in Peace”.
Marla still looks
forward to going to Morocco and Israel, to collaborate with the
various music groups, (especially the Women’s Ensemble in
Morocco, The Houyarites ), as well as starting the non-profit.
But for now, her focus, her 100,000% commitment, her devotion,
is on completing her debut album, a project in the works for
over eight years
The message
behind her CD will stay the same: supporting global peace, and
she will still create with musicians from Morocco, Israel and
the USA. Yet, she will work with artists who live locally in the
USA and not travel abroad to record. THINK GLOBALLY –ACT
LOCALLY!
