In our dream a guitar, a flute and a cello started a journey together, a journey to the realms of fantasy, joy, ecstasy and healing. The journey started in a small house in Israel, in a place called shefeya, continued through the magical India and happy Brazil and every step of the way the beautiful sounds of music were heard. |
People have described it as a deep and moving experience that takes you to landscapes of pure beauty – and how could it have been any different when a guitar, a flute and a cello have such a moving love affair? This dream and journey were cut abruptly with the sudden death of our dear brother Shai Maivar. Words cannot express the pain and emptiness his departure left in our hearts. He was a genius cellist, a talented composer, a brilliant writer and most of all a loving friend and a funny guy. A month prior to his death Shai urged his companions to the “Nagwa” journey, Shlomo Oz and Omer Gonen - Haela, to record their second CD, by that leaving us one last monument to his spectacular talent. Shai, your music and love will always be a part of us. The lesson you have left – living every minute with full joy and appreciation – we carry in our hearts. Shine like the star you are. Eternal love,
