I have a couple of new ones out!! simple and intimate low-tech renditions - just me and the guitar - of "One Being This" by dear brother Amir Paiss Music and another track of legendary Sheva bands' medicinal ballad: "Rei". I have added a permutation of letters for the adaptation of the English chorus - "Rei" means "neighbor, friend" or rather: "Mirror", changing one letter from "aleph" to "ayin".
Testimonials
"PrayerFormance"
"Gabriel’s concert ( PrayerFormance") was like a rose opening up slowly. Every story shared by him was a medicine pill that opened my heart and weaved along with the beautiful melodies from different parts of the world. I reflected for many days after the concert on what I heard - so I can definitely state that it is a very powerful concert: art at its full potential! ️" Nikita Llerena - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"From the first chords, I was involved in a hypnotizing, contagious, and poetic experience to say the least. Gabriel's "PrayerFormance" is a blend of tango elegance, Manu Chao's energy, Bob Marley's activism, and Jewish essence. His work speaks to everyone's heart." Guigo Rua - Photographer, Sao Paolo, Brazil.
"Gabriel's PrayerFormance, lifted spirits in a warm and connected celebration of music, language, song, culture, and spirit! His joyous energy and playfulness create a space where the audience becomes a part of the ceremony. Gabriel's songs are informed by a lived experience of peace and spiritual work in practice and across borders and conflicts. He creates a space where there is comfort to sing, feel, and be present in the vulnerability of our shared humanity! " Baba Israel - Curator, Artistic Director, and Artist, NYC, USA
“Gabriel Meyer's concert was a moving and delight-filled evening. His songs brilliantly blend the influences of numerous cultures and faiths in a way that celebrates both diversity and one-ness. His message is compelling, and the messenger is adorable." Rich Orloff - Playwright, Poet, and artistic entrepreneur -NYC
“I had the unique privilege of attending a profoundly soulful concert with Gabriel Meyer. It was dedicated to Peace in these painful times of war. Gabriel has the unique gift of speaking directly to the heart. His presence embraces. His music nourishes. His personality delights. He performs with his whole being. His invitation is: “Come. Join in. Sing and dance with everything you’ve got!” And Gabriel magically gets his audience to do just that." Hedy Schleifer - internationally-renowned master relationship builder, DC
"Sacred Playshop"
"I wasn’t sure what to expect. Gaby takes you on a magnificent celebratory spiritual journey - unlike any other - with song, poetry, and movement. The power of this work is that it is not information to be remembered, but experiential, so that it becomes a part of you. The effect was profound, providing me with ways to access being in the moment - being present, and ultimately even experiencing the meaning of the oneness of God. And… if that wasn’t enough, it was a joyful, playful experience. Gaby is a gift, he has a remarkable ability to allow for the essential being to emerge. This is not a one-shot experience. It will stay with you. I have never felt more present and it is the result, not of meditation, but of this extraordinary playshop." Nick Levitin - Photographer, NYC, USA.
