George Tortorelli/ MedicineWind is a Master Bamboo Flute Designer and Player.
He has been a Multi-Instrumentalist since the age of 12. Being raised in a musical family he had access to many instruments, and went on to perform in rock bands throughout south Florida. Before long he became aware of the mind and body stress from the rock and roll lifestyle. He longed for simpler pastures and retreated to the forests of north Florida
with a collection of rare and exotic instruments.It was there in the beauty and silence that the purest harmonies of nature came through him.
He discovered and planted an abundance of bamboo on his land, and commenced expanding his growing flute collection with flutes of his own design. His music and concerts were so loved by surrounding communities that he became known as "Medicine Wind" for the healing sound qualities of his Meditative, Peaceful music.
He started his own company called Medicine Wind Music, and commenced a successful recording career and custom flute design for fine arts festivals. He recorded three independant records: "TranceMission", "MedicineWind" & "Rites of Passage".
While both performing,it was at a music festival that Lisa Lynne and George Tortorelli met. After an exchange of albums, it became apparent that their musical styles were very much of kindred spirit...
The Celtic Harp and Bamboo flutes are two of the most ancient and heartwarming instruments. Since February of 1997, they have been spellbinding audiences with their magical and endearing sound. Even since, they have been performing non-stop thoughout the country, including the "Windham Hill Winter Solstice Concert" series these past winters. They are currently in high demand at the finest art exhibits, music festivals & peace gatherings across the country. They have recorded ten albums together: ( www.lisalynne.com/recordings.html )

Kia Ora. Nambassa is proud to declare that New Zealand is a nuclear free zone which prohibits by the laws of the nation any country from entering its land, sea or airspace, with nuclear powered or armed vessels. We would encourage other activists to lobby their peoples and politicians for an ecologically sustainable economy, and a nuclear free future for the world.
The tree hugging hippies of the 60’s- 70’s counterculture were the world’s first serious environmentalists to engage mainstream on ecological issues, and to attempt to change en-mass society’s perception on how we percieve our relationship with Mother-Earth.
Thank you for being here and may peace be in your actions, much love PeterT
