about

Winter in California, Zach Mayer’s third full-length album, is a new collection of healing melodies that calm Mayer’s own mind and heart whenever he listens to them. Featuring only his voice and the magical Zimbabwean instrument called the mbira, Mayer weaves melodies together that are spirited and joyous, as well as contemplative and soul-stirring. Each note is an expression of his inner musical mind, as he composed the album during his daily meditations in a beautiful flowering garden in Los Angeles, complete with bougainvillea, hummingbirds and wandering doves. When setting out to compose and record Winter in California, Mayer said, “I wanted to create the album that I would listen to whenever I’d need to calm down, enter into stillness, or just to feel happy. Maybe this album will have the same effect on you!”

lah לה
by Shir Yaakov

supported by 4 fans who also own “Winter in California”

I’m a cantor with a Master of Sacred Music degree from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. (Just giving some street cred... ; ) Like Taya Ma, Shoshana Jedwab and others that I have yet to discover, Shir Yaakov has heralded the growing Jewish pantheon of those lifting up Shechinah - the Divine Feminine - from Her long repressed state. Kol Hakavod, R’ Shir - THIS is the future of Jewish music! It had me in tears... Toddah Rabbah - thank you! Mike Zoosman cantormikezoos
