New Music Spotlight: Mango Melody

10/13/2013

0 Comments

 

Mango Melody  is the brainchild of brother and sister Mike and Tracey Stockalper, who hail from Encinitas in North County San Diego, California. Mike and Tracey are notoriously goofy people who for years pursued their own “serious” separate musical inclinations only to find that when playing together what seemed to emerge was music of a more playful, dynamic, fun, and much more life-celebrating flavor.  

After spending some time playing and performing mostly cover music around North County San Diego, the duo eventually formed Mango Melody in 2012, and immediately undertook to write original songs.  What resulted was  “Fruit of Happiness”, their first album, scheduled to be self-released in early fall 2013.

The duo’s goal for their first work was to in create music specifically geared to bring into a live forum.  In other words, Mike and Tracey believe that the album will be best experienced at a live show, where the raw energy of the music and gathering of people fuel the full experience.  At their performances, the band welcomes fans to take part in the fun by singing along, wearing bright mango-colored clothing, and/or bringing along several friends to experience the fun.

On the days you are being a little too hard on yourself, take a listen to "I'm not perfect" for a friendly reminder in the form of this charming tune.

Tomorrow Night's Featured Musicians & Teacher: DJ Hyfi, Jeff Liffmann and Jano Galindo 

DJ Hyfi - is a nomadic DJ who has been traversing the conscious scene, spinning for yoga events, festivals and dance parties around the US and internationally. Finding inspiration from life on the road and the interesting collection of characters along the way, he mixes a wide range of electronic music, spanning many different styles and tempos, from super chill ambient to off the wall drum and bass, electro house and everything in between, in his dynamic sets. yogadjhyfi.com

Listen to DJ Hyfi
Jeff Liffmann - Everything is created live when Jeff Liffmann performs – nothing is looped and nothing is pre-recorded yet the layers and textures he improvises fill the room with a warm atmosphere of brilliant, refined sound. As a piano and keyboard playing graduate of Berklee College of Music, Jeff brings a wide range of experience into his performances. His music directly responds to and helps create the energy in the room, invoking a spacious quality of movement and breath. Jeff spent the first half of 2013 driving more than 20,000 miles playing yoga gigs at all three U.S. Wanderlust Festivals and at more yoga studios than he can count. jeffliffmann.com

Jano Galindo - Yoga Teacher, Writer, DJ. From my early childhood as far back as I can remember, I always had a strong spiritual upbringing.  When I started studying music in my early teens it enhanced a deep connection to the divine. It was through music my first introduction to meditation began to take shape.  When I would play music, I was completely present, completely lost in the moment. From music came meditation, and from meditation came the desire to study yoga.  My first introduction was found in a small book that had various postures that I would practice daily.  It wasn't until a few years later when I took my first "real" yoga class. After that first class, I had never felt anything like that before. I went back everyday that week, and by the third class I knew my calling was to teach.  I signed up for the very next teacher training program, moved to Los Angeles, and immersed myself in a vigorous nine week schedule that tested every fiber of my being.  Upon graduating top of my class I made sure to teach my first class the very next day.  I have been truly blessed to be able to share the gift of yoga to the world.I am happy to call  San Diego my home where my wife Lorraine and I are raising our two beautiful children Azlan and Anaya.  I have a regular schedule teaching all throughout San Diego.  My amazing  journey with yoga has led me all over the world teaching workshops, retreats, and teacher training programs. Yoga has truly changed my life for the best, and my goal is to serve you in which ever way I can. www.janogalindo.com

Live From Yoga Rocks the Park San Francisco 9/7/13 with Rara Avis, Akal Dub w/Stephanie Snyder 

9/14/2013

My first time getting to connect and weave some magic with San Francisco based teacher Stephanie Snyder.  It was quite a magical experience -- our new Yogi Tunes DJ Brad Senstock aka Dub Akal just happened to be passing through the city that day, so he came and dropped some flute and percussion.  It was apparently the best weather they'd had in weeks.  The chemistry of yoga and music was divine, easeful, graceful and true to the spirit of and embodied devotional practice.  Many people came up afterwards and said that the combined experience took them to the next level :)  Can't wait to play with Steph again!!
