There was an incredibly popular track by Jorge Sacco from his "Gaia Project" that often was not credited by title, but in some cases WAS. It's generally called "Save Your Mind" or the Medusa song. But, it's not entirely clear.
So, where is this song?
What happened to it?
Who was Jorge Sacco?
What was The Gaia Project?
Well, if you're looking up old Tribal Fusion bellydance Videos from back in the GW Bush Era & Early Obama Era (the mid 2000s & early 2010s) you will very likely still come accross footage of the Tribal Fusion belly dancer movement all over YouTube assuming the footage is still there, and the search engines are STILL WORKING.
During this time period the Belly Dance movement reached incredible popularity due to The Bellydance Super Stars, as well new forms of Belly Dance, such as ATS, and Tribal Fusion Belly Dance sweeping the globe and spreading due to Social Media Platforms such as: MySpace, TribeNet, LiveJournal, and many others that have come and gone.
The Tribal Fusion styles of Bellydance branched off from Cabaret/Raqs Sharqi & ATS bellydance, and merged with House Music, Hip-Hop, Popping & Locking, Breaks, Hitting & holds, and merged with so many international forms of dance whihc were on the verge of being lost forever, so the dancer movement learned, studied, and incorporated these ancient & ethnic dances and even began using Jazz choreography merged with imrpov, and Rave Culture mixed with the budding underground movement of "music festivals" due to Love Parade being permanently canceled in Germany, so EDC became a Massive phenomenon as an underground cultural movement, and the movement of "Summer Music Festivals" grew into world wide standards drawing from Burning Man, Woodstock, and more.
The Tribal Fusion movement of dancers drew from an eclectic mixture of Experimental Music, Arabian & North African Music, as well as "Goth" subculture, and often had a "mood" of eeriness, vamps, femme fatal, and the strange beauty, haunting beauty, or dark beauty. It was normal to hear a mixture of glitch-hop, dub step, slowed EDM, as well as Neo Pagan, and various ethnic alternative music fusion.
So, the track of Jorge Sacco very much capture the mood, tone, and style of that time period. It was eerie, haunting, dark, and strangely beautiful. It also blends the old and the new, which was very common not just in House Music, but in the dance movement,which often had dancers rescure antique and old discarded items from thrift shops & flea markets, or Ebay, and make new art to be worn on stage, at festivals, or in public fashion. "Everything Old is now new."
The REMIX CULTURE IN EVERY WAY.
The dance movement, altho often having a dark Gothic or halloweenish vibe to it, in general was very anti evil,and was more about sisterhood, and acceptance of all kinds of bodytypes, people, genders, etc. and was ahead of its time.
Here are EXAMPLES of THIS VERY FAMOUS TRACK by Jorge Sacco with LIVE DANCERS:
As of the typing of this blog, I haven't been able to find much of Jorge Sacco, nor this song.
He DOES have a Twitter, SoundCloud, and YouTube Channel
However, he has NOT been active since 2018.
He's a Musician, Composer, Producer, DJ, and MC from Argentina, and most of his songs were popular with Spanish Speaking dancers, altho much of the video content was frequently in English, it was usually in Spanish, or bilingual listings, and most of his songs had English titles.
Altho you CAN STILL find his Gaia Project songs on SoundCloud from which this song originated, you WILL NOT FIND THIS TRACK AMONG THEM. Also, the majority of the links he put great care into listing on his SoundCloud are almost all broken links.
It is also unknown as to whether he is still alive, or perished, but also his music is NOT AVAILABLE on Spotify, nor is it in the YouTube Music system.
At this point, it's either lost media, or abandoned media.
Is he dead?
I honestly don't know.
