BACKSTAGE

“MERAKI”

“Meraki” adj. [may-rah-kee] is derived from Greek language, and literally means the “essence of yourself. It’s a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be. One of the coolest things about getting to travel the world playing music has been to be surrounded by fellow musicians doing things, often backstage and unseen, with Meraki.
