Remarkable mOMents of Ramam | Special notes for each year of this musical journey

until 2001 ))) Interested in Arts and Music since childhood, having a grandfather with an innate talent for drawing who delighted Ramam with his gift, Ramam was raised listening to Samba, MPB, Bossa Nova… When he was still very young he used to compose carioca funk music with friends at school, and, thereafter, joined some pagode bands and the young band of our church, when he learned how to play him first instruments: pandeiro, tan-tan, repique, and cavaco.

In the middle of 2001, happened the first Major turning point in him Life due to the Passing of him beLOVEd brother Patrick Bravo… since this painful movement, Ramam has begun to ask himself about the Meaning of Life and dove in the Eastern traditions, fascinated by the Usui System of Natural Healing (of Japanese origin).

2002 ))) About that time, Ramam has come to know of the first musician who would greatly influence this Soul, thirsty for Meanings: Oliver Shanti. Oliver’s countless CDs were like true portals which carried him far away frOM this time. Thanks to this Being and his valuable work, a deep reverence for the shamanic traditions have awakened within Ramam. That year, Ramam would also work as a volunteer at the Reiki Sem Fronteiras Association, until 2005.

2004 ))) It was in that year that this music path have really begun! After experiencing the traditions of Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism and Hinduism, Ramam would come to know (by means of orkut!) the Life and Work of the great tutor and Indian master Sri Sathya Sai Baba. By means of this delightful Avatar, he would discover the Organic Music in the old Organic Choir “Vozes Sai” of Sri Sathya Sai Center of Vila Isabel. That’s when he was allowed to experience for the first time what he would come to know years after as the well-known Transdisciplinarity. Since then, Ramam has been dating the ethnomusicology and learning more, by means of music, about so intriguing and integrated forms and customs which native cultures have always kept with Mother Nature.

For this period Ramam first hear the amazing sound of the kalimba through this precious flash presentation* that dear friend and designer Durga did to her old site, with the song “Ritual”, by Chandra Lacombe. After being fascinated by this sound and that distinctive voice, Ramam researched for several months until find the instrument that resonate the unique sound and the inspiring musician that masterfully plays and deeply enChants this Soul.

2007 ))) This year a new musical approach fills an internal demand for which my heart so much aspired: using sound intentionally for alignment with the Inner Being and connection with the Higher Self. This knowledge comes through meetings and workshops with the beLOVEd and inspiring Guy Lussier, a Canadian therapist with a wonderful gift of caring and amazing faith of healing!
