In the Sept 2024 issue of AKR Magazine, I feature global percussionist and handpan artist, Gary Muszynski, a local to the San Francisco Bay Area. Gary is an award-winning global percussionist, handpan artist, composer, producer, and organizational educator who brings to light the neuroscience of music, and the powerful role music plays in healing the body and mind.
He composes and produces original music across genres and countries. His first album, Roots, and Wings: Medicine Music, won the Gold Medal at the 2021 Global Music Awards. And I have no doubt that his newest album, The Journey Home: Songs of Longing and Belonging, which was released in August of 2024, will garner even greater accolades.
Gary Muszynski has met and/or collaborated with some of the greatest musical luminaries throughout the world; early on his music journey he met and was influenced by Brazilian samba legend, Martinho da Villa, and then Olodum in Salvador, Bahia. More recently, he has collaborated and played with the great Bobby McFerrin, Omar Sosa, Mads Tolling, Jaques Morelenbaum, Teco Cardoso and vocal sensation, Varijashree Venugopal, to mention just a few.
Give yourself a gift and click on the link in the first paragraph to listen to Gary's music and his audio interview (which is super creative) and of course, read my article about his work and his higher calling. All available in the magazine (starting on pg. 92).
