Some say it takes a village; I agree. Everyone in a community has a role and when we practice that role to the best of our abilities great things happen. Fortunately my role at Cali Roots 2015 was to document the overall experience and preserve it through the photos I took. I’m a firm believer in the power of photography to tell stories and how those stories can induce a feeling within ourselves. After going over thousands of images I compiled my top 20 shots to share with you and wrote a poem inspired by all the images. I hope you enjoy. – Josué
This is a movement, Joy and passion,
Legends arriving, Stop and watch them,
This is for the youth,
Generations to come,
Musical medicine,
Raw power of one,
Smile,
Free your vibrations,
Let the G within speak to all nations,
Thank those who feeds us,
We all have a role,
Fill the bowl with good intentions,
Tribal Seeds is bringing the flow,
Park your car where you are supposed to,
Take sometime to relax and feel,
Close your eyes,
Envision the love and heal,
Open up to new sounds,
Music from all around the globe,
