What supporters are saying:
Nelson’s music opens doors of consciousness, singing the oneness of the Earth and her wonders. His voice spans borders and human differences. Using humor, vitality, good information, true spirit and his gifted hands.
Boz ScaggsSinger and SongwriterNels-thank you for a gorgeous afternoon with you, Beethoven and the Kamuela Philharmonic orchestra!
NancyBeautiful show, Nelson! Your versatile music with Consuelo and Lisa was marvelous.
JesseDear Nelson, I think you have written this beautifully and presented the goal well. I only hope people can slow down from their busy lives to pay attention to the rapidity of the global disintegration and realize that making money is a fool’s game. Creation, preservation, conservation, and replanting and replacing all that has been lost is our only hope to survive as a species. Bonne chance!
A beautiful evening at the Loretto Chapel last night with cellist Nelson Denman, songbird Consuelo Luz and guitarist Joaquin Gallegos.

Here’s the flyer for the upcoming concert!
I just finished the flyer for my upcoming concert Thursday November 17. Click on the image for more information and to see the full size flyer.
I will be joined by some talented musicians, singers and a poet, along with encouraging audience participation (great for kids). It will be held in the ‘oldest church’, a place with ancient adobe walls enhancing the music.
If you feel inspired, copy the flyer and post it in your favorite coffee shop.
Look forward to seeing you November 17th!

VILCABAMBA
una canción de Nelson Denman, ©2015
Hay un lugar en los Andes del sur, lejos de una ciudad
Donde queda un pueblo de salud y amistad
La gente trabaja con la tierra y el aire libre y fresco
Agua pura y espíritu de amor y felicidad.
Vilcabamba, quedando en el valle
Aldea verde, visión y comunidad.
Buen vivir, sumac kausay
Estamos todos en el mismo barco
Visiones de amor y paz
Respirando en las montañas.
Vilcabamba, se abre como una flor
Buen vivir, ancianos y sinceridad.
Caballos en la calle
Jardines en la valle
La vida es amor y trabajo
Con un arco iris en el cielo.
Vilcabamba
En el valle de longevidad
Vida pura
Paz y prosperidad. 3x…fin]
