Our Story (Fantuzzi's story)

RIGHT NOW, we are riding the wave of huge global energy as people in hundreds of cities around the world get out into the streets to help change our societies. Help me achieve my vision of connecting and inspiring people everywhere through music, dance, joy and spiritual union. This is just the start of a greater global project that will take us around the world over the next several months.

My aim is to bring the ideas of all these people together, to show the connections between us all, and to raise money to benefit organisations serving children and others in need.

Travelling the world for many years, I have been called to share joyful music, spiritual songs, drumming and dance with people all around the world, participating in spiritual gatherings and celebrations of all types. Throughout these travels I see the same basic needs and desires echoed again and again... we all have the same vision for our future; a world that works for everyone. The global changes surging through our societies today, including the Occupy Movement, have acted as a catalyst for me to create a documentary film of the people I meet and share ideas music, song and prayer with.

This is my story, our story...about occupying your heart, occupying the world, being conscious, being aware, being heard. 


The Impact

This tour will serve to bring people together in many different ways; sharing music, dance, joy, spiritual union... sharing ideas, resources, enthusiasm and talents to create new options and alternatives for children and people who are now living in circumstances that offer few opportunities for change. This tour will bring change into people's lives.

The tour will produce a DVD documentary and a CD of the global cooperative celebratory music made on our travels.

We plan to donate 75% of all proceeds from DVD and 25% from CD sales between the following charities:


Rishikesh Orphanage, India

Harlem Children's Zone, New York

We Share Smiles  (sharing smiles with abused, underprivileged, handicapped and hospitalized children)

Ubuntu Edmonton  (Ubuntu (meaning Humanity) devoted to improving the living conditions of the women and children who were victims of the Rwandan genocide. The main objective is to be bring them to self sufficiency.)
