Bekka's Frogland Orchestra (www.bekkasfrogland.com) is...
a TRIBAL AVANT FUNK circle collaboration being birthed. We create cosmic bootie-shakers and elemental, cinematic atmospheres. Some of the messages we channel from our antennae involve Frogs and other creatures, Chaos Theory, Love, Peace on Mother Earth, and Freeing the Feminine Energy in all beings- ALL with the greater purpose to be of service in bringing a sacred balance to our present world.
We are very honored to be a part of this luscious celebration!!!!
Our first record- ELECTRIC LILYPAD- will debut at The Watershed Poetry Festival on October 2nd, 2004 in Berkeley.
