Waka Tangga

 is an experience for your head, your heart, and your soul.

 

Waka Tangga is a musical and artistic journey to be enjoyed by those who create, listen, feel and see.  This movement is intended to bring a sense of calm to the world through artistic expression and creative thinking.

 

The sights and sounds heard here and in Waka Tangga performances are intended to provoke a positive change within the musicians, the listeners and the watchers.  That change can mean many things to different people, so be open to many possibilities, but expect nothing.

 

Waka Tangga hopes to help aid this natural movement towards a better sense of understanding of the world we live in and within ourselves. It is our hopes to help create a more peaceful and sustainable physical and spiritual environment for our planet and the humans that live with her.   We hope you enjoy and perhaps become part of our efforts. 

 

Warmly,

Waka Tangga

"In 2000 on my way to Australia, I stopped for two weeks in Bali.  While I was there I discovered a part of my soul that changed my view of the world.  Waka Tangga which is a traditional spiritual trek up a mountain to five Balinese temples.

It was here that I had the calling to put together Waka Tangga which translates from the Balinese language as "The journey".  

Inspired by this vision, in 2001 Waka Tangga was formed by Pete Onofrio and Colin Benn in the attempts to bridge the gap between world and classical music.  It is being called "Dub-Fusion".

"We are all on a journey of our own.  We hope to make that journey more meaningful for you." 

--Pete Onofrio
