Dear Friends and Fans of Cheb i Sabbah:
Recently, our dear friend and musical pioneer Cheb i Sabbah was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer at San Francisco General Hospital. He was advised that the cancer was spreading to his liver and left lung. Without immediate and proper treatment, the prognosis given is very grim. The phrase “weeks maybe months” was repeated to a devastated group of close friends and family who were there to support him as he received the heartbreaking news.
Like many Americans, “Chebiji” — as he is affectionately known — does not have health insurance. Private health insurance is astronomically expensive and public state funded health insurance barely provides the most basic treatment — and it does so only if you qualify. Due to his weak health condition, Chebiji found himself having to cancel live shows, meaning his income stream has come to a complete halt, with mounting medical bills and future medical costs ahead.
Upon learning of his condition, a few close friends and artists have come together to rally around Chebiji and assist him with his fight. Devastated by the news and outraged that an artist of Chebiji’s caliber cannot afford to care for himself and receive the proper urgent medical treatment needed, we have set up a fund to help.
Please help by donating and spreading the word to your communities. With our financial support, love and healing thoughts let’s help Chebiji receive proper medical care and beat this cancer.
We would prefer PayPal payments as the donated funds are immediately available, thank you.

Hookadome has emerged as a premiere music and arts camp on the Burning Man Playa and beyond, providing sensory delights to visitors in the Dome and stellar music and fire performances on our stage at night. Born of the sand and dust of the Black Rock Desert, Hookahdome emerges each year out of the western wind to delight your senses in the most plush and seductive chill spot on the playa.
I will be performing on a variety of stages at the Harmony Festival this year – June 10-12, 2011. Come hear me at the Tea Lounge stage for acoustic traditional and fusion music and the Deep Green/Hookahdome stage for ambient downtempo sessions.

Please take a moment the check out the project and contribute whatever amount you can manage. This is a very important project and it deserves your support!

I spent the last week in Los Angeles as part of the Women’s Voices Now film festival where I performed twice as part of the the Festivals gala opening events. The festival was very successful and I hope to continue building on this collaboration. Check out more info @ http://womensvoicesnow.org
Well friends, here is it is. I have been sitting on this track for a little while. Natacha Atlas covering Nick Drake as remixed by yours truely is a perilously beautiful rendition of the evocative romantic classic.
