 Sure, everyone plays the game "Guitar Hero" these days, but very few are aware that a genuine guitar hero of the highest magnitude is living on Earth presently. What would qualify one to be a GUITAR HERO? how about playing guitar with all of the previous members of John Coltrane's band (Pharoah sanders, MyCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Rasheid Ali, Ravi Coltrane). Or being approached by the keepers of Jimi Hendrixes stratocaster offering to give you the 'hendrix guitar' as keeper of the burning flame?? Or playing across and beyond the stylistic realms of jazz, blues, avant-garde, classical, improv, experimental, heavy metal, new-age and rock as if they were one sonic space? Or doing all this despite painful nerve-damage in his left hand from a childhood injury? Tisziji Munoz appears to be one of the few musician/artist/mystics who reliably perceives & reflects the deepest known truths all of the time, and who transforms the wisdom in his Heart directly into fire-music. For those not aware of Tisziji, he is a Puerto Rican Guitarist from NYC who has attained a state of 'Radical Enlightenment', he functions as a Sound Shaman/healer and musical Zen Master. |

| First check out what Pharoah Sanders says ... then check out Tisziji's musical clarity & intensity "I play by and from no established theory or known academic, mainstream or success formula or system. I play the truth of my human experience and Being. Therefore, I confess my ignorance as to the ordinary conventions and invented traditions of music and admit my disdain for the stupid sexist, racist and political games of musicians and their business lords. May all beings go beyond music and into the Spiritual Sound Current!" quote from Tisziji Munoz © 1994  Pharoah Sanders speaks about Tisziji: "“Tisziji Muñoz is a man of self-knowledge, and a very advanced musician. Tisziji is one of the spiritual players. He has that quality about him. He is the only one I know that plays like that. He is the only guitar player I really know that I can play with. To me, it’s like there are no other guitar players. He is the only one. I can’t play with anyone else like I play with Tisziji. Tisziji can come into my band at any time and we can just play. We don’t have to think about it. He just knows what to play. And we’re just gonna do it. We’re just gonna play the music and it will be what it will be. You never know what he’s going to do next. He thinks and plays on a higher level. Tisziji plays with that spiritual quality that is about being Free. That is in his music. He has a lot of conviction in his music. He has that unique Sound. If you want to know about Tisziji, you have to listen to his music. I can always talk to Tisziji and play with him like there is no time between us. He is a very unique person. He has helped me through a lot in a lot of different ways. For instance, when we played in Schenectady, I came in with a lot of physical pain, but Tisziji took away my pain. He made me feel good. I always feel good when I’m around Tisziji." Pharoah Sanders - 1998  Tisziji
Munoz Myspace Profile - ( Myspace page launched Mid-April 2007) LISTEN TO TISZIJI, the "GUITAR AVATAR" - With Full Length Songs For you to Grok, "Does Spirit only work in the ways of a tradition? Is Spirit not Free to create a new one? The statement 'no enlightenment outside of the traditions' indicates that if you are going to Awaken, it is going to have to happen through transformational processing from some exclusive tradition or formerly established, antique system, institution or lineage. And it is a great statement indeed which has its appropriate impact on certain developed but unenlightened or unliberated beings. But not all Sat Gurus are born out of such traditions. Spirit truly works in Strange ways. I made a trip to Boston in 2004 for a concert & met Tisziji. He is the REAL DEAL! - a kind soul, a wise teacher, a true friend and a blessed Spirit. I can confirm this from personal experience. He is always 100% present & on-topic, and the topic is love, awareness, compassion, fearlessness, healing & enlightenment. Not 'in theory' (as an abstract discussion), but 'in action' (as a living example of perfecting these qualities). I recently created a Myspace page for Tiz to share his music and philosophy with a broader group of people. He has lived away from any public recognition of his vast musical and literary achievements. He prefers to live a life of quiet spiritual service to mankind through creating heart-spirit-music and asking students in (face-to-face sessions) the most serious questions possible about the function of deep music and the essential fact of who and what we are as human beings and Infinite Spirits. He always approaches these topics with an unmatched sense of humor, irony and insight. Here's a few audio MP3 downlaods of Tisziji interviews ...
And if you are a MySpace user, feel free to add the New Tisziji Munoz Myspace Profile with Full Length Songs and Dozens of Video Interview Segments recorded in 2007 - 2008 There are so many amazing things on myspace & on the web in general, but there wasn't much online or even any discussions happening about Paul Laffoley or Tisziji Munoz. So I feel it's the best service i can do, to help bring these truly amazing artist/philosophers to a broader audience. & it's working out good, maybe the time has come where Tisziji & Paul will get their visionary messages out to the public! I think the world will be a better place if that happens New MP3 Download:
