Reggae on the River | July 17 & 18 2010

Reggae on the River
www.reggaeontheriver.com

It has been almost 10 years since I first performed at this event. So much has happened since then. The biggest change being that now, I live right down HWY 101 from the festival grounds! Tchiya Amet and the Light House Band take the stage on Saturday, Julty 17 at 11am. That's right, we are opening the event. Usually, this spot is reserved for a Native or Tribal Elder. Hmmm... We will be playing some of your favorite tunes from the first two cds, as well as a few tunes from the new one, entitled, "Celestial Folk Music".

Here are some photos from ROTR 2001.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

That same weekend is also the weekend of the Conscious Convergence! Some of you might recall the vibrational shift during the Harmonic Convergence way back during August 1987. Here is the website: www.theconsciousconvergence.com

"The Conscious Convergence is in full swing now. World events and crises are giving apt focus for a world expressing unity consciousnes s. Now more than ever it is time to join together in heart and mind to help bring enlightened awareness and right-action to humanity and for our beloved Gaia." - Joseph Giove

Shared Intention Agreement

I, as a sovereign being, join together with All That Is to call forth the presence of balance and unity within me and in our world. I am the conscious presence of harmony and reconciliation and I am grateful for the wholeness I bring forth in this and every moment. And so it is.

 

 


Biography and Promotional Materials

Tchiya Amet El Maat

Awakening to the beauty of her journey, Tchiya Amet, singer, songwriter & keyboard artist, shares her sweet sounds and lyrical reflections with the rhythms of reggae, world and celestial music.

Roots

Chicago, IL Born August 5th, 1961 and raised as a young girl on the South side of Chicago, Il., Tchiya’s interests were as diverse as her cultural heritage. Her rich background resembles a patchwork quilt with the golden thread of spirit connecting each facet of her life.

Affinities

Tchiya has First Nations Roots: Moor, Cherokee/Tsalagi, Creole, and Blackfoot. She is contemporary Urban Indigenous Woman, which is complemented by her core ties with mother-nature and her close affinity to the land, water, animals, cosmos and spirit. She is comfortable in the remoteness of the countryside, the depths of a lush jungle or on stage at metropolitan nightclubs soothing the hearts and souls of those within listening range. In essence, her gifts of lyricism, music and performance manifest in every fiber of her being and allows her roots to reach the now, the then and the will be…

As a young girl at the age of eight, she played the piano for many hours a day and composed her own tunes without formal training. She continued to play and write mostly for herself.

Music Shaped by Life Experiences

Much of her music is shaped by her life experiences. Her roots in the rich and diverse music town of Chicago, IL is replete with a keen sense of appreciation for life and its’ many nuances. At Oberlin College where she secured a degree in Physics and also entered the realm of The Conservatory. Simultaneously continuing her musical interest, Tchiya took up Jazz Piano and went on to perform with the Oberlin Jazz Ensemble.

As member of the ABUSUA Black Student Campus organization, Tchiya was introduced to many meaningful ideals, principles and prophets of the Black Consciousness Movement. This would include Ron Karenga, founder of the Nguza Saba (the foundation for the cultural observance of Kwanzaa) as well as Malcolm X, “Until all of us are free, none of us are free!”

After Oberlin, Tchiya studied Galactic Astronomy in the graduate program at the University of Texas in Austin with Gerard and Antoinette de Vaucouleurs. Some years later, this is also where she began her studies in Cultural Astronomy with Linda Schele. It was during this time that she learned about Natural Life and Healing, Yoga, the Spirit and Power of the Mind. Complimenting her healing consciousness, Reggae Music, the Rastafarian and Black Hebrew Israelite Movements opened her eyes and mind to Truth, History, Health and Culture.

As a natural progression, Tchiya became a vegetarian, yoga instructor, herbalist, a proponent of home-schooling, a professional musician, performing & recording artist, festival producer, organic gardener, natural foods co-op organizer, cultural astronomer, & most recently, acutonics (cosmic sound healing) practitioner and instructor.

Tchiya's CD(s)

Third CD "Celestial Folk Music"

Second CD "Rise Again Truth"

First CD "Black Turtle Island"

 

She has completed 2 CD’s: “Rise Again Truth” and “Black Turtle Island”. The past year has been spent mostly in production for the third CD entitled “Celestial Folk Music” which was recorded mostly in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and will be released later this year (2010).

 

“Keeper of the Dream”

Tchiya is a “Keeper of the Dream”. The healing energy of her life is illuminating her music. Her natural singing voice & lyrics embody the spirit of beauty and variety as well as metamorphosis of rebirth, love & hope. The lion is her ally. Tchiya embraces the lion and learns to balance power, intention and strength with the feline grace and majesty. Her heartfelt change is transformational, leading the way to rebirth and clarity – that we are all related to one another.

Guided by the Sun and the Stars, this sister reminds us that the Sun is the prime source of light and heat for Planet Earth, and combined with rain it brings forth and sustains life. Tchiya is combining her gifts in music and science: healing & awareness with Sound; performing music that is inspired by the Ancient Wisdom which is to be found in Cultural Astronomy: the Traditional and Contemporary Celestial Worldviews of Indigenous Peoples of the Four Directions, and also in acutonics, with the Music of the Spheres.

Tchiya also shares the Teachings of the Four Directions, including Bhagavad Gita, the Lotus Sutra, The Kybalion, the Kabala, Cherokee Legends, Lakota Sundance, & Maat from Kemet.

Universal Truth

She is reaching out to a wider audience the more universal her music becomes--expounding the Universal Truth, the Law of Life.

Tchiya, warm like the light of the sun and the heart of a lion, is Born to Rule. Her recordings are dedicated to the Great Universe who opened the path to her higher Self.

Each song is a prayer…

 


 

Cosmic Sound Healing with Acutonics TM:

combining principles of Kemetic Sciences, Oriental Medicine and Bodywork with the Great Cosmic Mysteries and the Music of the Spheres.

What IS acutonics tm?

A non-invasive healing technique, that is similar to acupuncture, but
without the needles. The cosmic sounds of the Music of the Spheres are
used in place of needles. Utilizing a system of custom calibrated
tuning forks that are tuned to the orbital properties of the Earth,
Moon, Sun, Stars and Planets, harmony and balance can be attained in
one's life, when brought into alignment with the Universe.

Tchiya Amet El Maat is a certified
acutonics practitioner and instructor.
Her specialties include integrating the Kemetic Neteru, the True Star
Zodiac as well as the Western or Sun Sign Zodiac into the treatments.
The Mayan Calendar is also called upon.

Much of what is today considered to be Greek in origin was actually
copied from the pyramids of Ancient Kemet/ Egypt. This includes the
Greek Pantheon, which was used for the basis of our Planetary and
Celestial myths.

Tchiya also draws upon her rich background including 18 years in live
music performance and independent research in both galactic and cultural astronomy.
