This music is unique - by fusing sounds of the ocean mammals (dolphins and whales) with rhythms of the Earth (drums & didge) this music produces an alive celebration of ancient/modern music.

As the Legend of the Golden Dolphin unfolds, this chakra ascendence (ascend-dance) aims to bring about awareness of the majestic creatures of our oceans. May the spirit of this music inspired by the ancient rainbow serpent and the powerful, gentle and playful cetaceans, awaken us to re-member our purpose as earth caretakers.
