About Babek Bodien
Babek Bodien has this spark in him that leap over and illuminate everything – with devotion he lives the music in his very own way and uses this universal language to touch and connect.
As a singer-songwriter, he usually accompanies himself with guitar and piano, also plays a variety of instruments from all over the world (including drums, flutes, and didgeridoo) and loves to travel on a colorful, flying carpet of sound, into the distance, into the heart – at concerts as a soloist and with bands, as well as in various courses and individual sessions.
(e.g. in the field of yoga, therapy, dance, theatre).
“For me, music is a wonderful companion, a key that gives me access to myself and my environment. In my experience, sounds can touch our perceptions and feelings in ways that encompass, expand and brighten our whole being. To deepen this experience and to share it with others is a great fulfillment for me as a musician, time and again – now! “
Concert Info
The German and English-language songs by Babek Bodien speak from heart to heart, with luminous lyrics and meditative melodies, touching in their naturalness, rooted in its substance. Catchy and exotic at the same time, songwriter pop and reggae combine with elements of shamanic and spiritual music from different traditions.
In addition to accompanying the song with the guitar, archaic instruments such as didgeridoo, Indian flutes and drums are also used, which give the music a special touch. Live, with guest musicians or solo, the musician invites you to feel inside and let you move with the liveliness of the moment – in quiet contemplation as well as singing along and dancing.
Voices
“Your concert yesterday touched our hearts deeply. We are still in a good mood and feel closely connected to everything. Thank you again for your presence. “
Michaela and Jörg, concert goers Cologne
“I love your CD. Beautifully arranged, sung, texted. Wow.”
Ananda Danilo, musician
“Babek and his band impressed us this year at the opening concert at the Berlin Yoga Festival with his sympathetic manner and his musical ability. He not only charms us again and again with new wonderful songs, but also with his powerful interpretations of various yoga mantras. ”
Article by “Learning in Movement e.V.” published in the magazine “Body, Mind and Soul”
“Your music is a phenomenon, thank you for the courage for such exceptionally clear words!”
Christina Stern via Facebook
“I don’t know which angel stood by your side when you sang the songs, but they keep opening my heart and I become calm, satisfied and I feel deeply touched … thank you !!!”
Angela, feedback by email on the CD “Zauberwort”
Vita
I was born on May 18th, 1972 in Berlin (West) to a German mother and an Iranian father.
From the age of seven I grew up in an alternative community in the Bavarian forest, where I got my first instrument for my 12th birthday – a guitar.
As a teenager, sitting by the fire with others and singing, that was the kick! Soon I discover my love for writing my own songs and drumming – African Djembe, wow, what a power, and in general, enthusiasm for sounds from all over the world. I take part in various drum workshops, learn songs and dances “from all around the globe”, sing Indian mantras, play the didgeridoo and Indian flutes.
At the beginning of 20 I start to share what I am so enthusiastic about with others – first in a private setting, then it starts with music courses in public institutions for children, young people, senior citizens, for everyone who feels like it.
For a while, I ran my own small cultural center with friends with drum workshops, yoga, art exhibitions, readings, dance and singing evenings.
I start with the world music band “Pulsare” and soon we will be playing a lot of gigs and making our first CD recordings. This is followed by other band projects and at the same time it works out that I also focus strongly on my own music. I deal with studio technology and have been producing most of my albums myself since then.
I also discover more and more the healing and mind-expanding effects of music and the profound experiences on this path flow into my work.
I am very grateful for the encounters with wonderful teachers who inspire me musically and personally – that were and are, among others:
Wolfgang Strobel (music, body and trance therapy, tantric Kriya yoga)
Noor and Akbar Helwig (Sufi songs and dances from all over the world)
Herman Kathan, Mansa Camio and Rainer Pollak (African drum music)
Reinhard Flatischler (TaKeTiNa rhythm education)
Krishna Takis (Thai Yoga Massage)
Concerts e.g. with
Satya & Pari, Tina Malia, Janin Devi, Gaiatrees, Armin Metz, Laeela, Noaidi, Pulsare

Maka i juktai ye

Auf sanften Schwingen gleitet
mein Blick über die Welt,
fühl wenn das Herz sich weitet,
schau wenn der Schleier fällt.
Wie kostbar jeder Augenblick,
wie einzig alles Sein –
ertrink im Blau des Himmels,
kehr neugeboren Heim.
Und dieses bleibt für immer
im Werden und Vergehen,
es kling in meinem Innern,
reicht über das Verstehen.
Und auf des Klanges sanften Schwingen
fliege ich zu dir,
in der Welt geborgen
und mit der Welt in mir.

Musik frei nach einer Klezmer-Melodie
Komm lass uns heut zusammen gehen,
wenn noch der Tau die Wiesen ziert,
dahin wo sich am Horizont,
der Weg im blauen Dunst verliert.
Wir reisen auf dem selben Boden,
doch viele Wege führen dahin,
lass mit vom Fluss des Lebens tragen,
weiß noch nicht wo ich morgen bin.
Der Weg ein Freund mit dir an meiner Seite
und jeder Schritt ein Tanz mit dem Moment.
Wir drehen uns fort, stetig mit dem Wandel,
am Ziel da wo das Feuer brennt.
Komm lass uns gehen mit der Sonne,
farbenpflückend in den Tag,
sammle Schätze in meinem Innern,
die ich für immer bei mir trag.
Es kommt der Tag auf dieser Reise,
da lassen wir alles zurück,
doch leichten Schrittes gehst du weiter,
trägst du im Herzen dein Glück.
Der Weg ein Freund mit dir an meiner Seite
und jeder Schritt ein Tanz mit dem Moment.
Wir drehen uns fort, stetig mit dem Wandel,
am Ziel da wo das Feuer brennt.
Text und Musik von Babek Bodien
Bin der Himmel und das Meer,
bin die Weite, voll und leer,
bin die Stille und das Sternenlied,
Erde die dich an sich zieht.
Bin das Werden und Vergehen,
nur im Herzen zu verstehen,
bin Gebirge, Wald und Wüstensand,
namenlos und viel benannt.

Bin die Wärme und das Licht,
siehst mich wenn der Tag anbricht,

Bin der Wind in deinem Haar,
reise mit dir Jahr um Jahr,
ich bin Aufbruch, Weg und Wiederkehr,
trag dich mit dem Fluss zum Meer.

bis auf „Schläft ein Lied…“ von Joseph v. Eichendorff
Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen
die da träumen fort und fort
und die Welt hebt an zu singen,
triffst du nur das Zauberwort.
Folge der Stimme deines Herzens,
finde den Fluss und lass dich tragen.
Male die Welt in neuen Farben,
flieg mit den Flügeln deiner Fantasie.
Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen
die da träumen fort und fort
und die Welt hebt an zu singen,
triffst du nur das Zauberwort.
Lausche der Stimme deines Herzens,
sie weiß den Weg zu deinen Wundern.
Weite den Raum mit deinen Tönen,
schenk dich der Welt mit deiner Melodie.

Sunfather golden,

Freedom is what I need now, oh spirit of freedom,
come and take my heart,
teach me to be brave enough,
to live my life.
So many fears held me inside for to long,
so many tears I´ve held inside for to long,
now I´m here to find a way, hey come on now,
it is clear I´m on my way, hey come on now!
Would you follow love cross the ocean of dreams,
into a new reality.
Would you follow love beyond your dreams,
that´s where I long to be.
…
Nowhere to loose and nowhere to find,
freedom is here, in your heart, in your mind.
No limitations,

let yourself go,
with an open heart and trust in the flow.
We are born to be free like dolphins in the sea,
we are born to live high like stars in the sky.
We are born to be all one,
with mother earth and father sun.
I´m a child of the universe,
a child of the mystery,
we are children of the mystery of love.
Fly like an eagle, fly so high,
circle around the universe on wings of pure light.
How witchi tai tai, witchi taija how

With my feet on the ground and my head in the sky
and my heart filled by a song.
A song for you earth mother, for you life,
for all my relations, for you beloved one…
You are my inner guidance, the love I have found,
the space of endless opportunities,
you are my nourishing ground.
Dance as so no one is watching you,
love as so you´ve never been hurt before.
Sing as so no one can hear you
and live as so heaven is on earth.
Live, love, dance and sing
like heaven is on earth…

Lyrics
Let me tell you about a great, great love of mine.
She´s so beautiful, she makes me feel so fine.
When you see her, you will agree,
she´s pure, she´s pleasure, she is in harmony.
So let me show you what I mean, and have a look around.
She is everywhere, she is the ground.
And even when you rise up to the sky, you´ll see her light,
there are many stars, so many stars, but one is shining bright,
This blue, this blue wonderful planet…
And this blue wonderful planet is like a mother to me,
but when I stay in town, driving my car it is so hard to see.
I won´t loose that touch, that means to me so much,
in my heart, I know where I belong to.
And she´s still waiting there, with all her love to share,
she´s a goddess, yes she is…
Now you know about my love, and I guess you feel the same.
We are the children of the earth and we stand up in her name.
Together we will try to care, and join the lovin´that we share.
2x /We wanna live in harmony with our mother, planet earth,
And with an open heart we see, how much it´s worth.
This blue…
With all the mountains and the seas,
With all the animals and trees…
Butterfly, take me to the sunny sky,
let me fly with you,
´till the light shines through.
Butterfly, together we can get real high,
softly on our way,
into a new day.
Uh, I want to free my mind
and leave it all behind.
If we try to not hang on,
we´ll get back where we belong.
No matter how far it will be,
my butterfly will guide me,
to where love is flowing
and the flowers are growing.
Yeah…
Butterfly, you know the way of transformation
and that´s the reason way you have such a good vibration.
And butterfly, you know before we can fly,
we have to lay down and die,
we have to change our mind before we get high.
So, butterfly, take me to that place where I
can change myself like you,
I wanna become new.
Butterfly, take me to the sunny sky,
let me fly with you,
´till the light shines through.
Butterfly, together we can get real high,
softly on our way,
into a new day.
Uh, I want to free my mind
and leave it all behind.
If we try to not hang on,
we´ll get back where we belong.
No matter how far it will be,
my butterfly will guide me,
to where love is flowing
and the flowers are growing.
Yeah…
Butterfly, you know the way of transformation
and that´s the reason way you have such a good vibration.
And butterfly, you know before we can fly,
we have to lay down and die,
we have to change our mind before we get high.
So, butterfly, take me to that place where I
can change myself like you,
I wanna become new.
This can be heaven on earth, heaven on earth,
this can be heaven when we are in love. /2x
Watching your eyes,
see the sunrise,
heaven when we are in love.
And there is nothing to do,
just let your light shine through,
heaven when we are in love.
This can be…
Singing with you,
yes it is true,
heaven when we are in love.
There is an open space,
a flow of grace,
heaven when we are in love.
Dancing with you,
yes it is true,
heaven when we are in love.
There is an open space,
a flow of grace,
heaven when we are in love.
In love…
This can be…
Watching your eyes…
Sometimes it seems, nothing is going right
and sometimes it seems, you´ re lost in the night.
And sometimes it seems, that this is your day
yes sometimes it seems, all your dreams are on their way.
Then you make your plans, you think you understand
and this is black and this is white.
But then you are confused, you´ re not amused
´cause that what happens seems not right.
Hey life will never be the same
it´ s just how it is
It´ s always changing, it s like a game/it´s not right or wrong, it´s just a game
so don t hang on this
and let it go
Sometimes it seems that no one cares for you
and sometimes it seems, the only colour is blue.
And sometimes it seems, everyone is your friend
yes sometimes it seems, all the world wants you and your band.
Than you make your plans and you reach out your hands
and you sing a love song.
But than you are alone and no one calls you on the phone
and you ask yourself whats wrong.
Hey life will never be the same…
and let it go…
Heart, where have you been, you´ve been travelling, travelling, travelling,
but now you are coming home to me. /2x
You bring the colours of the rainbow and the silence of the dawn,
you keep me warm,
and it´s pure delight and harmony,
when I´m in you and you´re in me.
Oh love, stay, this time there is no need to run away, hey yeahyeah. /2x
I´ve been longing so much, baby yeah,
for your loving touch, hey yeahyeah,
so come on now if you want me, stay.
I wanna live my love today, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna give my love today, yeah yeah yeah. /2x
Oh heart, dududu…
Lalala…
I´ve been longing so much…
I wanna live my love…
I´m sitting here, so much longing in my heart.
I´m sitting here and I don´t know where to start.
I see you walking like an angel passing by,
but you are out of reach, oh girl I don´t know why.
I´m standing here, still I have you on my mind.
It seems there´s always something missing and left to find.
I know, it´s not you, not the images in my head,
it´s just not easy to let go when you´re needy and sad.
Woijoi…
Here I go on my own, it´s okay, heyhey.
Keep the fire burning, man, I say hey, heyhey.
All I really need comes my way, I say hey hey hey yeah,
I still want you /2x
I am on my way, every thing is okay.
I watch the river flow, in my heart I know,
I can trust in life, life is good to me,
with an easy drive I´m flowing to the sea,
with an easy drive I´m going to be free.
What is good, what´s bad, we decide in our head.
If we don´t think to much, we can stay in touch.
I love the sunny sky and the rainy day,
I´m a butterfly on it´s rainbow-way,
I´m a butterfly on it´s rainbow-way.
I´m on my way ,even when I´m down,
on my way.
I´m on my way, when I act like a clown,
on my way.
Dubudei…
I´m on my way, every thing is okay…
I´m on my way, even when I´m lazy,
on my way.
I´m on my way, when they think I´m crazy,
on my way.
I´m on my way…
Oh father, how could you´ve left me,
when I needed you so badly.
Oh mother, how could you´ve left me,
I needed you so badly.
I was a little boy, who´s tried to be strong,
and all my tears were held back by a wall,
I´ve built inside to protect me from the pain.
And I couldn´t ask, couldn´t understand,
why you´ve been not there,
uh I couldn´t ask, couldn´t understand,
why.
Oh father, I needed you so badly.
Mother…
It made me mad, hey, woijoi… /2x
And after all those years, I can still feel the pain,
behind a wall, I don´t wanna wait in vain.
So I´m trying my best to overcome my fears
and to let it out…
Rage and tears, woijoi… /2x
And the more I feel, the more I understand,
and step by step, I´m back to homeland,
yes, the more I feel, the more I understand,
and I grow strong enough to be soft and to take a helping hand.
Oh father, oh mother,
take a helping hand…
Yracema, Yracema, woyeah,
Yracema, Yracema, oh girl. /2x
Oh my lover, this song is for you, uh,
a song to make you smile again when you feel blue.
Like a warm ray of sunlight, when it´s cold a grey, yeahyeah,
my love is shining on for you, just listen what I say.
You are so beautiful, you let me feel love so much deeper, mmh
oh girl, I am falling, falling into something new,
oh girl, my heart is calling, calling out for you.
Yracema…
You´re sweet as honey, mmh /4x
You are so beautiful…
Yracema…
You´re sweet as honey…
Tell me my heart, where should I go,
and what is to do, oh I don´t know.
All these thoughts and mixed emotions,
it spins me around, oh stop it now.
Isn´t it silence what we need, so badly wowowo,
so I wanna plant a silent seed, in my head, wowowo.
It will grow to become that strong, that I can hold on,
to hear your song, on and on…
Wojoi…
Nowhere to go and nothing to do,
rest in your breath and let it flow. /2x
Yeah, deep inside you know,
just take your time, let it show,
yeah, it´s your freedom, it´s your choice,
just listen to your inner voice.
Aah…
If you give the love you receive the love…
Just let your heart be wide, wide open,
there is so much we have to share, yeah.
Just let your heart be wide, wide open,
sing it out and be aware, an echo will be there.
If you give the love…just let your heart…

Heartbeat Journey
Sound Healing Ritual
For groups and as an individual session
Discover and use the ancient way and embark on a healing inner journey with the sound. You are invited to come with what moves your heart, with what’s in your soul, with your questions and prayers.
We connect, sing powerful songs, relax while lying down, breathe, feel and let the music work.
In the ritual, shaman’s drum, didgeridoo, monochord, gong, singing bowl and other instruments sound for you to enable deep and transforming experiences. We can immerse ourselves in a trance consciousness in which the healing vibrations of music fill body and mind and through an expanded perception we look at ourselves and life differently – maybe the past will appear in a new light, pent-up feelings will flow, a vision will appear and illuminate the path that lies ahead of us. These experiences are rounded off by a shared, reflective exchange in a circle and sensitive body contact that nourishes and grounds us. Elements from yoga, meditation and dance also complement the whole and help to process and integrate the impressions.
The sound healing ritual as a single session lasts approx. 90 minutes.
Costs: € 60 / € 40
Heartbeat Journey
For groups
The Heartbeat Journey is a guided sound experience that connects us with the heart through the magic of music. We travel through three sections – a dance part, a trance part and a chanting part. Powerful instruments and touching songs performed live for you and invite you to feel, let go and flow. By being more and more in contact with what’s alive in us, we create a space to BE, to HEAL and CELEBRATE – dance, breathe, relax, feel the earth, sing, connect in the heart.
The participants are invited to bring their own instruments and to accompany themselves in certain parts.
Babek Bodien plays heart drum, guitar, flute, didgeridoo, djembe, gong and monochord, among others
