I'm so pleased you are so moved by my music. I know this probably wont appease you, this retort is mostly for other more discerning visitors to read it since I have decided to post your assuming, misinformed and hopefully temporary opinion on my site. First of all, I must inform you that I do work a job that pays for most of my travels, recordings and studies with Masters from Tuva, India and Mexico. All of whom have given their utmost enthusiastic blessings and respect for my craft. I have spent a lot of time concerning myself with any-hijacking of another's pure culture and standards of each of my influences to which the masters have all assured me of it's power and validity even when I didn't believe it myself. No grants or trust-funds and certainly no social or familial status pays for anything that I do. I do hope someday soon to live on my craft as it is something unique that I've been told over and over again is truly transportive and profound to the listener and or participant of my offerings. Secondly, I don't care for and don't wear dreadlocks. I have no idea where that came from. Your mind I suppose. In any case, it's inconsequential and petty. Thirdly, I can't say from calling myself a "Shaman". What I do know is that it is a title given to one by their community. I actually shy away form that particular self-proclamation. I do what I do. If the soul whom it reaches call me a Shaman, so be it. I do very much respect the shamanic way and I believe it's a path for human survival on this planet. As Soriah, my intent is to remind people of this. As for my privilege, you're absolutely right, I am supported my many others. They remind me of the larger work being done. And as far as shame...well, maybe you can tell me about shame;) Thanks for the opportunity to answer these charges no matter how misguided and "wounded";) I sleep in peace now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz E(:+O<- Sven of Africa..

Vänta, låt mig gissa ... du är också en andlig ledare jag bet. Klart att du är. Den vita-boy lejonman är en särskilt trevlig förolämpning med tanke på ert kulturella anslag på musik av andra tillsammans med din neokolonialistisk känsla av rätten till slita av icke-västerländska konstnärer. Din privilegium flyter på baksidan av andra. Tusen hojtningar av "skam" är över er denna dag. S o R I A H,

Wait, let me guess... you're also a 'shaman' I bet. Of COURSE you are. The white-boy dreads (shitlocks) are an especially nice insult given your cultural appropriation of the music of others coupled with your neo-colonialist sense of entitlement to rip off non-Western artists. Your privilege floats on the backs of others. A thousand shouts of "shame!!!" are upon you this day. S o R I A H,
