Drawing from Rafe Pearlman’s experiences growing up in the Alaskan wilderness, KANU is an immersive multidisciplinary performance. Featuring Pearlman’s lush and dynamic vocals, in collaboration with world class guest musicians, Daniel Berkman and Richard Sherwood, KANU takes you on a journey into a wild and interactive landscape of song, soundscapes, visual installations and storytelling.
KANU’s mission is to connect audiences to the beauty, majesty, and healing potential of the natural world, and to promote communication and dialogue with our most precious resource, the language and life force of our living planet.
“KANU is a story based on my life travels in the Alaskan wilderness and the greater life journey that took me around this planet,” says Rafe Pearlman, “it’s a piece of the song of life that is singing us and is yearning for us to sing along…

Rafe Pearlman Bio:
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.
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.
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).
“Rafe Pearlman makes meaning as well as music and enfolds an array of traditions in his work which can only be described as timeless and unique. He has a voice that is as full and open as the sky. A heart that is vast and defenseless and a talent that is beyond beautiful.” —John McClean, Nashville
