i.am.nãda - YOUniversal - Burning Man 2022

Description

i.am.nãda at YOUniversal - Burning Man 2022 presented by Soulestial Carnival For a mid-week Burn day plagued by power and sound issues, interpersonal challenges, heat exhaustion, and countless other hiccups, this vibey organic set by our brother i.am.nãda was a melodic close to what turned out to be a beautiful evening. While he played, our brothers and sisters at YOUniversal managed to serve bountiful plates of Persian dinner in the middle of the unforgiving desert to hundreds of hungry Burners, many of whom waited for over an hour in a line wrapped around the bend, 3 camps deep. The outright gratitude in service of Persian culture and YOUniversal in particular can be felt long after you've been graced by their presence...  ...and thanks to a gracious introduction to our celestial brother Nãda by our sister Gilda last year at our mini-Burn at Cielos, we have been lucky to have this genuine soul as part of our extended family. He loves as if it's second nature with an almost innate ability to give more than he receives. But receive we did, with this nearly-2 hour set of uplifting world beats, serenading us under the vast starlit sky. To witness Nãda's seemingly effortless delivery is to experience an alchemy of frequencies, a magnificent merging of analog and digital existences that create a unique soundscape that fits perfectly amidst the cultural landscape of YOUniversal.  Soulestial Carnival is blessed to have a home at YOUniversal at Burning Man and in 2022, we brought our Soulestial soundsystem to bring the gift of music, accompanying our camp's Wednesday night open dinner. "YOUniversal offers a Persian Tea House designed by Gregg Fleishman, and for 6 hours each day we offer desert-friendly drinks along with exotic sweets and sour treats, some parlor games, and poetry & fortune telling - all based on Persian culture. Since our camp consists heavily of veteran Burners of Persian descent, YOUniversal is really good at two things that can be helpful on the playa: hospitality and fun desert-dwelling wisdom." https://www.instagram.com/iamnadamusic/ @iamnadamusic
