MOSE
MOSE – an artist from Guatemala known for his organic electronic and deep tribal sound – weaves hypnotic rhythms, ethereal chants, and live instrumental improvisations into deeply immersive performances. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultural traditions, cacao ceremonies, and ecstatic dance, his music emanates light, love, and compassion, guiding listeners on an inner journey and inviting them to move freely in the rhythm of connection and presence.
FRANKO HEKE
Franko Heke – a New Zealand Māori (Ngāpuhi) and Italian artist – creates a unique musical fusion that blends reggae, ancient mantras, and spiritual messages. His performances are celebrations of community, consciousness, and connection with nature. Meditation, yoga, and breathwork are part of his daily life, and these practices are reflected in the festivals he founded, NZ Spirit and Resolution. Franko Heke will perform alongside MOSE at the Gabya Isle Rituals festival.
GIRIU DVASIOS
Girių Dvasios is a unique electronic music project founded in 2009 by the talented artist Evaldas Azbukauskas. This unconventional musical endeavor is inspired by Lithuania's natural landscapes, forests, and ancient Baltic culture, seamlessly blending with modern Dub-Techno sounds.
IANAWA
IANAWA is a musical project born from the collaboration between Uttama, originally from Mexico and Colombia, and Aiyana from Lithuania. Their music weaves together Earth sounds, ceremonial chants, and diverse instruments from around the world, creating a vibrant, spiritually resonant sound. Inspired by nature, the traditions and rituals of their cultures, the performers invite listeners on a musical journey where life is celebrated, the connection to the present moment is deepened, and the audience is immersed in a reflective experience that stirs both contemplation and joy.
The activities awaiting you:
● Live music – hypnotic rhythms, sacred chants, live instruments, and soundscapes
that echo like the pulsing breath of the inner world.
● Cocoa ceremony – a heart-opening ritual that helps connect with the community
and with oneself.
● Fire and forest rituals – the wisdom of the elements, leading to inner purification
and renewal.
● Sutartinės circle – a profound Lithuanian sacred singing experience where voices
become bridges between people, worlds, and time. Sutartinės - (“sutarti” means to be
in accord) is a phenomenon of Lithuanian traditional music interlinking singing, words
and movements representing an archaic form of two and three voiced polyphony,
usually sung by women. Sutartinės, Lithuanian multipart songs were inscribed on the
UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.
● Body and soul practices – from movement and breath to silence and intention.
● Temple of Goddess Gabija – a sacred space honoring light, fire, and life, as a
reminder that each person carries within them a spark worth nurturing. Gabija – the
Lithuanian goddess of fire, guardian of the hearth, and symbol of warmth and life.
Perhaps only a fleeting moment — like a flash of Fire Light kindled by human hands, resembling eternity the most — can disperse the fog of impermanence.
This year, the celebration of Gabija returns! As we bid farewell to summer and remember the shining Gabija Temple of 2021 in Smiltynė, on the peninsula of Kaunas Lagoon — she is ReBorn!
Now, on the shore, a new, warm present of Gabija’s Fire is being created, with the potential for a lasting future.
This year, a new little Temple, arising from Sacred Air, fresh Waters of the Nemunas, and the embrace of Earth, pines, and white fabrics, will invite us into a different way of experiencing daily life — into a new Circle of Fire, envisioned as a harmony of personal self-creation and collective world-creation.
