DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Jimetta Rose’s MettaSun quintet; The Voices of Creation\, the Afrikan Space Program dancers\, + mood selectors\, visuals and more\n\n\nImagine a new world where joy\, wonder\, and peace prevail.

All are welcome with a pure heart and pure intention. \nAll others beware! Don’t be a joysnatcher! \nWorlds Alive and Jimetta Rose pay homage to the genius of Afrofuturist pioneer Sun Ra and the limitless nature of imagination. Blending the infectious power of The Voices of Creation with the innovative expertise of Shafiq Husayn and the Everything Raw movement artists\, Jimetta introduces her new world. Get ready for the journey to MettaSun\, a planet\, a portal\, a sound … an experience. \n  \nPresenting: \nJimetta Rose’s MettaSun ensemble feat. Maia the Artiste \nThe Voices of Creation \nThe Everything Raw movement artists \nWith mood selector Shafiq Husayn \n+ An immersive Scavenger Hunt for planetary travel \nLOCATION\, PARKING & FAQ click here \n\n\nIn a far place\, many light years in space there is a planet called MettaSun – one of the many planets of possibility that has been birthed from the music of Sun RA. Here love\, peace\, and joy abound\, the bright technicolor skies welcome all who visit\, The Voices of Creation sing each day from the clouds and fill the soft pink and magenta skies with the sound of harmonic living. \nSun Ra\, Big Brother Almighty left on a spaceship and departed from his body in May of 1993\, leaving behind his messages of interstellar introspection and the cosmic possibilities within sound\, inspiring many to explore the sonic landscapes within themselves; proving that space indeed is the place where there is enough room for us all. \nWelcome to MettaSun \n\n\nJimetta Rose’s MettaSun ensemble \nfeat. Maia the Artiste \nIn June of 2025\, Jimetta Rose was struck by an idea; she wanted to make a solo project based around the music of Sun Ra. She’d been covering certain Sun Ra songs around LA whenever she was asked to perform a solo set or sit in on a jam\, and she was suddenly confident that she could create a project that would be as much of a tribute to one of her biggest inspirations as it is a proclamation to her own growth as an artist. For a month they met up weekly to rehearse and plan out arrangements\, then in August 2025 the real work of making an album began. Jimetta went into the studio with Ahmad Dubose Dawson on percussion\, Wayne Matthews on drums\, Curtis Crump on piano and sax\, Michael Alvidrez on bass\, and her special featured guest Maia the Artiste on harp\, flute\, and vibraphone. The body of music recorded in those sessions is now being released to the world as “MettaSun” on June 20th by the Nightdreamer label. \nIn celebration of the release the ensemble will feature: \nBrandon Cordoba – piano/keys \nWayne Matthews – drums \nMichael Alvidrez – bass \nAhmad Dubose Dawson – percussion \nMaia the Artiste – flute\, harp\, vibes \nDavid Michael Otis – saxophone \n\n\nThe Voices of Creation\nThe Voices of Creation bring their soulful joy to any celebration. With their irrepressible spirit-lifting gospel and soul-stirring messages of faith and togetherness\, their sound is perfect for these troubled times. The Voices of Creation are living their purpose\, and everywhere they go\, things are only going to get better from the experience of their love and music. Jimetta’s unique vision has resulted in new spiritually-charged forms of music whose whole?hearted embrace of love\, joy\, and peace act as sonic healing balms for the soul. \n‘Let the Sunshine In’ and count our ‘Everyday Blessings’. Voices of Creation transform performance into praise – inviting you not just to listen\, but to feel\, connect\, and remember what it means to be in harmony.
