Laraaji is a visionary musician, composer, and mystic who has enchanted audiences worldwide with his ethereal and transformative performances. Born Edward Larry Gordon, Laraaji’s music transcends conventional boundaries, seamlessly merging ambient textures with cosmic vibrations, creating an immersive and deeply introspective sonic journey.

Laraaji has been an unwavering practitioner of celestial sounds, operating in his own lane for decades, an 80 year-young American multi-instrumentalist visionary sound artist LARAAJI NADABRAHMANANDA & one of the pioneers of the new-age and ambient philosophies. In the early 70s, Laraaji lived in New York, admired Eastern mysticism and performed in parks playing a vintage stringed instrument called “Zither.” In 1978 Brian Eno saw Laraaji’s Washington Square Village performance and helped him record and release an album called “Ambient 3: Day of Radiance.” The release introduced this American musician to a wide audience, and his next 40 albums made him a true legend of meditative music.

Featuring special guests Michelle Helene Mackenzie and Hotspring.

This show is a co-presentation between Coastal Jazz and A Week in Paradise.
