“Flux is a state of musical coherence and exceptional togetherness. Its mission is for people to reconnect with musicality and understand the great power of the language of rhythm, harmony, emotion and vibration. It’s almost like being under a spell.” This is just a snapshot of what the versatile Lithuanian-Colombian singer and musician Jurgis Didžiulis, also known as Jurgis Did, seeks to evoke with his musical co-creation experience Flux.
With an extensive artistic career, the former leader of the ska-funk group InCulto – Lithuania’s entry at the 2010 edition of Eurovision – is known not only for his successful career but also for his marriage to the well-known singer Erica Jennings, with whom he has two children. In his constant search for innovation, with the premise that music “serves for more than just entertainment”, he tells us that two years ago he planned to travel to his native Colombia to work with the Kogi tribe and their practice of rituals to “harmonize the world”. But everything changed when he accepted a friend’s invitation to come to Ibiza.
“When I arrived I felt that there was something here, as if you have one foot in the esoteric and the other in a brutal reality,” the speaker and activist explains. In Ibiza he found “the crossroads of wellness, consciousness, agricultural regeneration, the desire to create new systems, and lots of people who all have the desire to create a new reality. And I felt that there was a need for music, an artistic expression for that, songs, a way to come together.”
For a year now, he has been offering his experience of musical co-creation with multidisciplinary jam sessions almost every Thursday at Can Love. They are private events, although “anyone who feels like it can come and experiment”.
