Cloud Of I is the musical vision of singer, songwriter and sound healing facilitator Yuli Shafriri. Fully live, the band weaves medicine songs and tribal ecstatic dance with music from the Middle East, the Sahara, Brazil and the Andes, touched by desert-psychedelic rock.
The set moves from meditative, heart-opening songs into full celebration. A space to dance, sing, pray and feel together.
Debut EP Gazing (Batov Records, London, 2021) was played on BBC Radio 6 Music (Gideon Coe) and KEXP. The band has since toured across Europe and Central America.
Every Cloud Of I gathering follows the same path, from stillness into dance.
Yuli draws on traditional singing from many cultures. Her voice and improvisation carry people somewhere dreamy and open.
Close up and unplugged, the songs open a space for every voice to join in.
Medicine songs and prayer songs from the Middle East to the Andes make a gentle container for stillness.
Guitar, flute, drums and a worldwide collective of musicians. The lineup grows from intimate trio to full ensemble.
By the end, the whole room is dancing. Here at Ancient Trance in Germany and Guardians in Slovenia.
2023 to 2026, across Europe and Central America.
