In 2002, Jami began collaborating with poet and performance artist Kim Rosen in the creation of “Poetry Concerts.” Since that time, they have been exploring an innovative dialog where music that travels from world rhythms to prayerful stillness is interwoven with spoken poems from around the globe and across time. The focus is on an equal relationship between the art forms rather than the more traditional approach in which the music is background to the poem.
Each concert is an invitation to rediscover what mystics, poets and shamans have known for centuries: when you join powerful rhythms with the language of the soul, the mind can’t contain the experience and bursts open to an unsayable “Ahhh!” of pure wonder.
