LARAAJI, Duke Ellington of New Age Music
A 78 year-young American multi-instrumentalist Laraaji ,one of the pioneers of the new-age and ambient philosophies. In the early 70s, Laraaji lived in New York, admired Eastern mysticism and performed in parks playing a vintage stringed instrument called “Zither.” In 1978 Brian Eno saw one of Laraaji’s Washington Square Village performances and helped him record and release an album called “Ambient 3: Day of Radiance.” The release introduced this American musician to a wide audience, and his next 40 albums made him a true legend of meditative music.
