Rafe Pearlman & Friends with Rumbo Tumba

On Rafe Pearlman ~

Rafe Pearlman started his singing career with the wolves, ravens and sled dogs of the Alaskan wilderness.

The wild nature of his exploratory singing has led to performances spanning the globe, from India, Hong Kong, Israel and Germany, to Italy, France, Spain, Australia, Thailand, Mexico and all across the United States.

Highlights of his many years of music making include performances at John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (USA), America’s Got Talent (USA), Festival Internaciona (Mexico), Lightning in a Bottle (USA), Burning Man (USA), and Shantipi (Israel), Imagine Music and Arts Festival (USA), Beloved Festival (USA), Wonderfruit (Thailand), Bumbershoot (USA), Folklife (USA) and many more.

Collaboration is central to Rafe’s creative process and he’s had the opportunity to work with some amazing performers and composers over the years including William Close and the Earth Harp Collective, touring with the world’s largest stringed instrument. Rafe was accompanied by a full orchestra, working with one of Hollywood’s top soundtrack composers, Tyler Bates, at the festival of film composers, “MOSMA,” in Malaga Spain. Rafe’s voice is featured on soundtracks for Netflix, Direct-TV, NBC, Thunder Road Films, and on Sony’s top video games.

Rafe’s intention with his music is to inspire a vision of a world in harmony and unity, celebrating diversity, sustainability, and equality for all beings. Sometimes a simple song is all it takes to open a connection.
