Awakening The RainBow Nation
D ear Reader,
welcome to this very Special Edition of TRIBAL REALITIES magazine, which will be your
companion and guide to illustrate all of these music-triggered visions. I started this project
in August 2010 with the idea to produce a concept-album where all the songs were inher-
ently connected. Each song is a world, an experience. Each song is a story. Each story is a
song. Hence, the idea to match the music with a selection of illustrated tales. Therefore, as
I composed, played and produced each and every song...I wrote a selection of visionary
short stories and lyrics. At the same time, I’ve been sketching, painting and editing vision-
ary illustrations to complete the narrative. It has been an emotional and creative tour de
force in 5 months, and finally the whole project is ready for you to Experience!
TRIBAL REALITIES VOL.2 is a Concept-Album in 5 Tunes: a rich and diverse album where
Dubstep Sub-Bass Lines, Deep House Rhodes, Drum and Bass Beatz, Afro-Cuban Flavors
and AfroBeat Infinite Grooves take place in a Tribal framework of Realities.
TRIBAL REALITIES VOL.2 is a Concept-Magazine in 5 Tales: Follow the visionary adven-
ture of the Apprentice on its way to meet a mysterious Japanese Samurai(p.02), Escape
from Gorée Island (p. 14), Immerse Your-Self in a Supra-Mental tale of Awakening(p.20),
Meet the RainBow Nation (p.24), Listen to the vibes of Kroo Bay’s Griot (p. 26).
Deploy this magazine and its music as Power-Full Tool towards a Self-Discovery Journey of
Transformation and Elevation.
Enjoy the Ride!

Keep it Tribal, Keep It Real,
Marco Katana Spada, RainBow Nation
Off the train. His train of thoughts still running - “Who is the Superior
Man? How am I gonna find Him?”
Lost in the Japanese countryside. He found Him-Self surrounded by
the green and wet presence of rice paddies. Everywhere. Emerald land-
scapes of lush vegetation comforting his Heart. Suddendly, the Green
Hill of rice paddies gradually faded into the Sacred Red Hill of Uluru.
“W-what is happening, now? - he said, feeling dim and dizzy - Uluru
is in Australia not in Japan!”
The young Apprentice had a special feeling. So, facing the Sun, he start-
ed to send a Voice. He cried his Sacred Songs. Then, a sudden beat of
wings... he shivered. Right in front of him a two-winged being started
talking - “ I am the Bird of Golden Feathers. I know you crossed the
Great Water to meet the Superior Man. “
“R-right” - the Apprentice stammered with difficulty, completely stoned
by that gorgeous apparition.
“Don’t get lost. “ - the Bird continued - “Uluru is everywhere...when you
are in the DreamTime State of Consciousness. “
The inexperienced young man nodded the head with gratitude,
then asked - “Oh, Brilliant Bird of Golden Feathers, I want to meet
the Superior Man. I am humbly asking for your help and guidance...”
The Brilliant Bird then replied - “Follow the New Path. Move beyond
Aristotle’s Principle of Non-Contradiction.
Indeed, [Every-Thing Is] and [Every-Thing Is Not].
This is the Unveiled Truth. Behold! “

JUMPING
Back home. Centered in the complex patterns of arabesque flowers on the
carpet, lying on the floor, he felt asleep. Dreaming...
“Jump into the rainfall. Jump!” - a soft and Power-full Voice said.
His rational side, altered and alerted, warned his senses, anticipating the
vision of his physical body smashed to the ground. Frames of Life danc-
ing in front of his Consciousness just like a Bollywood movie. But the Voice
in the Heart of the Apprentice, calmly, repeated - “Jump. Jump, Now!”
He jumped.
RE-GENERATION
Floating in mild water. Re-generation.
“Where...” - astonished, staring at a huge Dome, carved in the under-
grounds of Mother Earth, yet bright and shining like Father Sun. The
cave was one giant Dome, opening into the bright light above.
Luminescent waters filled the whole space.
“I feel relieved, finally...” - floating in Peace. Bliss-full Peace. - “ it is like I finally
got rid of a cluncky armour.”
The Apprentice realized his New State of Being, while giving away some last
rounds of sub-optimal patterns of thoughts and negative feelings. Liberation
is floating in Bliss. Floating in this awareness, he realized other Beings were
floating in their cocoon of Bliss-full Peace. Liberation.
“You can stay as long as you want. It is your time for Re-Gen-
eration” - the Voice in his Heart, spoke again. Floating in Love,
wrapped in a shell of Light Vibes, the Apprentice Shaman stood.
Silence.

AWAKENING
He woke up.
Free as a Bird and ready to fly. High.
“How long did I sleep?” - he wonderd - “ I really needed some solid sleep, I guess”. Sit-
ting on the bed, staring at the wooden beams joints of the ceiling. It was an ancient
Italian casale, dating back to the XVI century: stone-made thick walls, wooden beams
and cotto pavements. Local people called that tall country house “La Torre”, the Tower.
“Time to get out of bed, uh?” - barefoot and naked, he went down stairs. It was very
early for the Sun was just starting to manifest his presence. A subtle beam of light
was coming inside the house, piercing a little windowpane hanging on the wall.

Old Native American Prophecy
IN SIERRA LEONE
Sometimes I am a Lion relaxing under the sun.
Sometimes I am a Japanese Samurai turned into an Apprentice Shaman
Other times I am a Captive Slave dissolved into Sun Shine Rays
Some Other Times I am just a Kid from Kroo Bay,
the slum shantytown in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
All the Time, I am a Story-teller.
I am Free even when my country is not.
I am a Griot.

artist’s statement
I am a Shaman, painting Visions. Leveraging the Powers of word_mu-
sic_video_art, I guide Rare Souls to their own destinations. Are You One
of Them? Beyond the reductionist-cartesian paradigm, I create Spaces of
Trascendence giving voice to Human Being’s pristine desire: going beyod
the physical body, towards Higher Levels of Consciousness. I explore trans-
personal dynamics, depict enlightning experiences, taking part into the Vi-
brant Dance of the Universe: the Simultaneous and Multiple Unity. My Art
is Magic, because it mediates between the Natural and the SuperNatural...
Are You Ready for some Magic in Your Life?
