About Fantuzzi

“Fantuzzi is a global troubadour whose music touches my heart. [His music] is a moving expression of the Bhakti [devotional] path” - Ram Dass

A near-mythical creature whose natural habitat often manifests as a haze of ecstatic music, dance and joyous vibrations at spirit festivals around the globe... Fantuzzi is a world-class musical star, MC and host who is charismatic, funny, sensual and heart-moving.

Puerto-Rican, born in New York, Fantuzzi early on discovered the joy of drum, dance and song, leveraging the performing arts to escape the city streets. Leaving New York at the age of 16, he hitch-hiked around the United States for three years before heading to England, Europe and beyond.

Pursuing a journey of ecstatic exploration and a mission to share joy, love & delight in life with others wherever and however he can, Fantuzzi has been a part of many musical and spiritual festivals, often from inception, including Burning Man, BhaktiFest (CA), Earthdance (global), Bali Spirit Fest, Into The Wild/Wildheart (UK), Glastonbury (UK), and Harmony Fest (USA). He was at the first Woodstock festival and his iconic photograph was used by Newsweek magazine as their front cover to symbolize the essence of the sixties generation.

“Fantuzzi is rediscovering the lost language of ecstasy” - Prem Baba

Fantuzzi makes his home in Hawaii where he has, over many years, built up an off-grid Sanctuary in the rainforest of the volcanic Big Island. Here he hosts small gatherings and retreats when not travelling the world.

Our dear friend Tiffany Sparrow from Edmonton will be joining and supporting Fantuzzi. We first met in Bali back in 2011 and have crossed paths at interesting times and places ever since. It's always a gift to enjoy the sweet harmonies of Tiffany's music medicine - voice, guitar and harmonium.
