ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:
Steve McCormick
Known for his songwriting and guitar playing, Steve McCormick is also quietly establishing a reputation for producing independent artists and helping to bring their music to fruition. With more than 30 albums under his belt, including Topanga faves like Tim O’Gara, Amilia K Spicer and Old Bull, seven full length albums of his own, and recent offerings by The Wholesome (July 2023)and Mark Joseph (Nov 2023), McCormick’s work is steadily and beautifully unfolding.
On his newest project, a collaboration born with percussionist Greg Ellis, McCormick is venturing into world music. Since bringing on the master Kora player Prince Diabaté, the music has taken on an authentic African sound, but with McCormick’s recording and production acumen, a truly extraordinary thing is happening.
For this “Des Eaux” event, Corazon Performing Arts will be treated to a rare presentation of this music. The three key members of the project will explore making this music live in front of your eyes and ears.
Ellis, Diabaté and McCormick will present several of the pieces from the upcoming album, as well as delving into some improvisations and sharing their unique talents in solo settings.

Prince Diabaté
Prince Diabaté hails from a prominent, Malinké family from Guinea, West Africa. He learned his art from his father, Djéli Sori Diabaté. Breaking with tradition, his father also taught Prince’s mother, Hadja Djéli Sira Cissoko, to play kora. The young boy became an exceptionally early starter by accompanying his parents to their concerts throughout West Africa. Despite his father’s disapproval, he decided to make music his life. When he was eight years old, former Guinean President, Sekou Touré, came to his home town, Kindia, for a celebration in Independence Square. Braving the outraged soldiers and his own fear, the young musician grasped his kora, threw himself at the President’s feet and played a special song for him. Greatly touched by his skill and audacity, Sekou Touré became his benefactor, enrolling him into the National Children’s Theatre in Conakry. At 16 years of age, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, he stumbled upon a videocassette of Jimi Hendrix and, inspired by what he heard, entered an international kora competition. Taking first prize that day he became known as ‘Prince Diabaté, Prince of the Kora.’
In 1986 he met the singer, Amara Sanoh, and the two started to perform together.In 1990 he won the “Découvertes” Award, sponsored by Radio France Internationale. After 12 successful years on the international festival circuit, touring in Africa, Europe, Canada and the USA the duo disbanded and Prince Diabate settled in Los Angeles, USA. Prince Diabate has released four studio albums: Lamaranaa (Buda Musique/Allegro) in 1993, New Life (Sunrise Records/Orchard) in 2001, which features guest artists Michael Brook and Hassan Hakmoun; Djerelon (Kora Company Collection) was recorded in Guinea, Conakry in 2006 and is arranged and produced by Kante Manfila, longtime collaborator of Salif Keita.The album won the People’s Choice Awards (Vox Populi) in the Independent Music Awards for 2007: World Music (Traditional) category.
His latest album, My Music, was recorded in Guinea, Conakry in 2022 and features Guinean and French artists. It was mixed in France and mastered in the USA.
Considered to be one of the leading kora players of his generation, Prince Diabaté brings not only total mastery over his ancestral tradition, but a commitment to renew it through fresh ideas and exchanges with musicians from many cultures. His years in the USA produced collaborations with artists and groups as diverse as The New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, Adam del Monte (Flamenco), Grammy winner, Ozomatli (Hip-Hop/Latin rock)and Grammy nominee, Michael Brook. The musically adventurous griot has incorporated reggae, rap and blues into his work occasionally punctuated by the funky
use of the wah-wah pedal. Lately he has adapted the music of the Wassolou to his repertoire, which he plays, self-taught on the kamelen n’goni. The result is entirely his own creation: a fresh, powerful brand of twenty first century Manden music, which remains strongly rooted in traditional codes and references.
In 2002, he was a nominee for the LA Weekly Music Awards and the New Times Music Awards. He was also a finalist in the International Songwriting Contest for 2004 & 2005; and took first prize in the 2005 and 2006 Pacific Songwriting Competition. His work has attracted grants from Arts International; Alliance for California Traditional Arts; Los Angeles County Arts Commission, Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the Durfee Foundation. Prince Diabate also maintains an active schedule as a lecturer on aspects of Mandinka music. He is also sought after for film and television projects in Hollywood including previous work with Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer & Grammy Award winner Heitor Pereira.
These days Prince Diabaté divides his time between France, the USA and Guinea and is often on the move, performing with his group. At the end of 2013 the Prince Diabate Music Academy was officially launched in Guinea. This new academy, the first privately-funded establishment in Guinea, is the result of Prince Diabaté’s desire to create an international music school specializing in stringed instruments and traditional flute. Construction is still underway and thanks to the encouragement of government ministers in Guinea and the generosity of private donors an official opening is scheduled for 2023/2024.
GREG ELLIS : Recognized as one of the more innovative and versatile drummers in the world Greg Ellis has performed around the world and recorded with musical artists from over 30 countries including Mickey Hart, Zakir Hussain, KODO, Bickram Ghosh, Mahsa Vahdat, Tord Gustavsen, Yungchen Lhamo, Chiwoniso Mairaire, Sugizo, Juno Reactor, Billy Idol and many more.
Ellis has released many critically acclaimed albums with his groups Vas and Biomusique as well as his solo album Kala Rupa. His drumming can be heard on more than 150 film, television and video game scores, including 300, Argo, The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, Iron Man, Body of Lies, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Downsizing, Salem, Samurai Jack, Far Cry 4 and God of War: Ascension.
He has composed music for numerous international film and television projects including the award winning documentaries Chasing Niagara and The Road to Fallujah.
As a passionate advocate for the healing and therapeutic aspects of organic sound and rhythm, he has presented lectures on the topic at various conferences and institutions including The Woolf Institute in Cambridge, England and Rutgers University. Ellis is also working on a documentary exploring the lost languages of rhythm in modern society and the impact of digital culture on music.

HEATHER DONAVON: Heather Donavon is a unique crystal bowl practitioner who combines the “healing” aspects of crystal alchemy singing bowls with her singing skills to produce a calming and ethereal musical experience.
Widely known as a session singer and live performer (Melody Gardot, Keb’Mo’, Ben Harper), and one half of the musical group Love Me in the Dark, Donovan has an incomparable vocal gift. Her voice has been described as “dusky,”a mezzo-soprano, with an earthy soulful quality and wide range.
Over the past decade she has been exploring different forms of spirituality and mindfulness, a journey that has taken her from yoga, to meditation, found a home with crystal singing bowls, where she can combine her singular skills in her advocacy for mental wellness.

Hour of The Wolf: Soul Story Council Live in Topanga
2023-07-19 18:30 - 20:30 | Corazon, 125 s Topanga cayon rd, topanga, CA 90290, topanga, CA, 90290, US
Join an intimate gathering to experience an ancient form of mystical storytelling and discover and tell your own story in the process…

L﻿ive From the Center of Your Soul as you embrace your archetypal essence
in this highly interactive evening of Sacred Storytelling.
D﻿o you know how to get your stories to go to work for you?
Soul Story Councils provide a way to gather with intention and deep listening for what is emerging in our collective consciousness and needs tending within our personal lives, as well as our collective.
D﻿uring our time together….
Y﻿ou will receive a story divined out of our group, and each person will receive a brief transmission for how they are living in the story.
W﻿e will weave our collective wisdom together as we make sense of the symbols, archetypes and metaphors that revealed in our story.
T﻿HEN (this is new if you have attended Soul Stories in the past) you will have time to write and create your own story inspired by what was created in our collective experience.
Bring an offering to the story altar, flowers, candles, fruits, chocolates… or something that has meaning for you. Your offerings can be left or temporarily placed and taken home with you.
Please note:

An offering for the altar: may be flowers, something of meaning, food that will sit on our altar as sacrament to be imbibed at the end of our program (think fruit…chocolate…yummy things).

Please know that we begin promptly, and that as this is ceremony, we ask that if you know you are going to be more than 5 minutes late to wait until the next event. The doors will be locked.
You can learn about where these happen at www.leahlamb.com

Suggested contribution is $25 (this can be paid through eventbrite or in person)

“When Leah first shared Soul Stories with me, I understood exactly what she is doing: she is a story oracle. Leah has a rare gift of using the ancient art of story telling as a healing art. With intelligence, depth, and a dash of playfulness she wove a story and created meaning of the metaphor so that I was able to receive a mythical version of myself, revealing some of the deepest truths that were alive in my unconscious. Soul Stories serve as yet another tool to connect to the divine self. It is an opportunity not to be missed!”
-Marci Shimoff, Speaker & Author, “Happy for No Reason”, “Love For No Reason”, and “Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul”

“Leah Lamb is a master Weaver/Storyteller. She has a very special gift of being able to be empty enough to so deeply feel the themes of the story beings are reweaving, that she can then spontaneously speak a story to illuminate those themes with rich metaphor and images that potently reveal something different for each listener. In this gift, she genuinely is an oracle. I have experienced her Soul Story process as a magically healing and soul deepening experience that I can whole heartedly recommend.”
~Ariel Spilsbury Author of The 13 Moon Oracle, The Mayan Oracle and Gaia’s New DreamCoat.

Leah Lamb, MSW, Transformational Storyteller
The essence of my work is around reconnection~ to self, community, and the divine. I love being that ally to people as they awaken to the power of story in their life, and claim their power as creator of their life experience.
Leah Lamb studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in NYC, and with many masters of story in theater, film, and the ancient art form of storytelling. She received a masters in social work, and focused on therapeutic use of the wilderness for the seven years while she worked as wilderness guide with youth at risk. Her storytelling has taken on several mediums, including launching the green Chanel at the Emmy award winning television network, Current TV, and has written for National Geographic News Watch, Fast Company and Spirituality & Health Magazine. She was a communications consultant, working for Pachamama Alliance and The UN Climate Talks in Paris. Lamb combines this experience with her studies with metaphysical practitioners, and a year long training with 13 moon mystery school. Her stories hold the resonance of connection with the earth, animals and spirit. She is writing her first novel, The Whale Dreamer.

Maetar: World Groove Eclectic Avant Funk Jazz with a Middle Eastern Twist

SAT JULY 8th MAETAR: “World Groove Eclectic Avant Funk Jazz with a Middle Eastern Twist”. with special guests
8:30 doors open 9pm music starts
$30 GTD SIT-DOWN CHAIR
$﻿20 dancing, limited pillow seating & garden access
$﻿15 Corazon Membership Discount price
Maetar’s music can be described as “World Groove Eclectic Avant Funk Jazz with a Middle Eastern Twist”. Imagine if Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix had a musical baby in the Delta of the Nile, and George Clinton was the midwife, it might sound like Maetar.
Itai Disraeli – Bass
Hagai Izraeli – Horns
Richard Fultineer – Drums
Brothers Itai (bass) and Hagai (horns) were born in war torn Israel on a kibbutz and started making music at the age of six and four. The whole family use to gather around their grandfather’s table every Saturday and jam. They grew into legitimate musicians; Hagai became a soloist with Israeli orchestras and Itai became a celebrated and sought after bassist, winning “Bass Player of the year”.
Determined to use their music as an instrument of peace and joined by renowned drummer/world percussionist, Richard Fultineer, Maetar forged their sound and style.
Their concerts for human rights and peace have brought Arab, Israeli, Muslim, Christian, and Buddhist musicians and communities together. Maetar’s music is a declaration of peace, calling on Hebrew and Arabic melodies, filtering it through a rigorous jazz perspective, and the exuberance of funk, soul, afrobeat, and rock. Playing native instruments from the world over, employing rhythms and melodic modes from various cultures, Maetar brothers embody the universal language of music with their original sound, inspirational melodies, seductive grooves and inventive use of modern technology.
Maetar as created a body of work that has been featured in concert halls, festivals, movies and television. Playing and recording with great musicians from around the world such as James Gadson, Jackson Browne, Roger Waters, Susanna Hoff (Bangles), Tony Allen (Fella Kuti), Trilok Gurtu, Larry Coryell, Nishat Khan, Prince Diabate of Guinea and Omar Faruk Tekbilek to name a few, helped the band shape its sound and inspired it to dig deeper.
The new Maetar cycle of works celebrates the group’s forging a new musical path. Desiring to create an original musical language that will express their passion for peace and reach across borders, the band once declined public appearances for 3 years and woodshed in a loft over a vintage pirate outfit factory. The mindset of deep listening as foundation for peace led to the operative mode “CPWO” – Completely Present and Wide-Open – playing live in the same room, no charts, overdubs, click track and clichés. Instead, creating an environment in which all participants interact equally, listening deeply, being in the moment without preconceived notions and patiently exploring the elements of music.
This discipline led to many hours of experimentation with the sounds of diverse instruments, rhythms, modes, grooving, looping, layering and shaping. The band recorded the sessions, analyzed and discussed intent and impact, which led to greater communication and expression, and to the development of the Urban Crawl, Abstract One Drop, Nu World Groove, Tone Poems and Meditative Soundscapes styles. This is the evolution of Maetar’s signature sound and the cycle of works. The tones and sounds the band produces create a sonic wave that is encoded with peace, freedom, and creativity.

The Mystic Stage of Hieronymus Bogs
2023-06-17 21:00 - 23:00 | Corazón Performing Arts, 125 South Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Topanga, CA 90290, Topanga, CA, 90290, US
Hieronymus Bogs’ eclectic blend of dark folk music, spoken word, and performance art nearly evades traditional classification

The Mystic Stage of Hieronymus Bogs | Saturday 9PM June 17th, 2023

An intimate set of mystical song, recitation, and performance by New Mexico bard and artist Hieronymus Bogs.
Hieronymus Bogs’ eclectic blend of dark folk music, spoken word, and performance art nearly evades traditional classification. During one of his intimate performances, you might find the bearded Bogs kneeling and penitently singing, or someplace offstage beseeching his audience to enter a “half-imagined” portal. It’s musical art that’s both unconventional and surprisingly embraceable.
Evoking an ancient crooner, Bogs’ voice sits comfortably between Roy Orbison and Scott Walker, with hints of Antony and the Johnsons’ theatricality. Commandingly fusing mystically inspired lyricism and delicately stark guitar, his songs set emotions free in an almost hypnotic way. From optimism’s peaks to regret’s chilling depths, his music cycles through potent moods and descriptive imagery, conjuring cinematic landscapes where beggars are clothed, ruins are rebuilt, and beautiful losers waltz through existence.
“It’s refreshing when an artist can embrace his own nakedness. Hieronymus Bogs does this fearlessly.”
—Ben Stephanus, WithGuitar
