Episode #33 - Global Grooves

“Life is about rhythm. We vibrate, our hearts are pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine, that's what we are.”
- Mickey Hart

Remember a simpler time before memory
Devoid of distraction
You lay nestled in the womb of your mother
We all start from the same place
Surrounded by warmth and darkness
The single presence of a sound captured your focus
Existence was measured by the simple beat of the heart
Mother’s heart. The world heart
Speeding up. Slowing down
Always within its groove
9 months of a continuous rhythm
Counting out the days of your universe


This week, I’ve put together a playlist of rhythmically captivating songs that span the world. Global Grooves. Coming up in the next 90 minutes, you’ll hear a variety of mindblowing, booty shaking, soul stirring, get up and gyrate to the beats of humanity’s pulsating polygalactic heartbeat music.
