Ambient Church New York: Laraaji '40th Anniversary of Vision Songs'

Description

We are BEYOND thrilled to announce that Laraaji will return to our New York stage on December 20th for a rare live performance of 'Vision Songs, Vol. 1' to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Our journey with this legendary ambient icon began on the winter solstice of 2012 at Bushwick’s Body Actualized Center, where he performed as part of a 52-hour activation to welcome the New Age. Since then, Laraaji has remained a luminous presence in our world, bridging music and meditation with a joyful, transcendent energy that has inspired countless listeners. 'Vision Songs, Vol. 1' holds a special place in Laraaji’s catalog. Released in 1984, the album blends celestial minimalism, spiritual affirmations, and a soulful vocal style that nods to gospel, all wrapped in his unmistakable cosmic touch. Initially self-released on cassette, it has grown into a cult classic, beloved for its unfiltered sincerity and visionary sound. This December, join us for a transformative evening as Laraaji brings this singular work to life, set in an historic church with immersive, architecturally-mapped visuals. A true celebration of sound, spirit, and Laraaji’s enduring legacy.
