In the spring of 2020, Japa decided to perform a series of Friday concerts – live from the Baja. Each Friday at 5pm, Japa hopped on Facebook Live and did a show – with a variety of themes, instruments and songs….and here they are…

May 1 – Super fun.
Hits of the day included “It’s all God”, “The Hopi Prophecy”, “Barco do Paz” and a little Grateful Dead/mantra mash up, “Ek Ong Ripple”.
