esperanza spalding - Formwela 12 featuring Carmen de Lavallade (Official Music Video)

The official music video for esperanza spalding’s “Formwela 12” AVAILABLE AT SONGWRIGHTSAPOTHECARYLAB.COM .
Formwela 12: For participating directly in the celebration of an esteemed elder woman, thereby reducing the fear of isolation, and other stressors, associated with aging. For appreciating the effects of testosterone “loss” in the body and psyche of elders. For revering the distinct ways the body and knowing of an elder woman can move (us), orient (us), balance (us), and guide (us). Use as a salve to soften and open one’s capacity for listening, joy, and shared-visioning in the company of elder women. -Notice how their care and experience is the connective dream tissue between those who’ve brought us this far, and all we hope to manifest for shared thriving in the future.
