To Become Born

From the first plucked string of this otherworldly song, you sense you are floating in the space between worlds. This song was written as a musical expression of Ram Dass’ experience of losing a newborn son. Ram Dass has devoted his musical gift to inviting musicians to create music through intimate musical conversations. This song approaches the question of the joy and pain of life and death being worth returning to this world to become born again. You experience the emotions and poignancy of the question and feelings it evokes flowing into each other in the rich weaving of instruments and vocalizations on this track. It is a song with voices, but without words. Featuring Ram Dass on nylon guitar, and the duo, AWARÉ: Bogdan Djukic on violin and percussion with Matías Da Via’s vocals, these three musicians invite you to open your heart to this profound and beautiful question and to experience the deep longing once again to become born.
