Snatam Kaur, whose father was a manager for the Grateful Dead, has an amazing ability to transform traditional chants into a contemporary sound that appeals to the modern ear yet awakens an ancient yearning in the soul.

Praise for Snatam Kaur

“Concert, chantfest, musical group meditation, a yoga class in melody . . . how best to describe a live performance by Snatam Kaur and her band? It’s all of these things and more. Seated center stage, Snatam is an angelic presence, dressed in traditional Sikh attire, bejeweled dress, white turban and veil. She’s a diminutive woman, barely five feet tall, but possessed of a voice that could wrest tears from a stone gargoyle — crystalline and radiant, redolent of the simple yet powerful truth of the heart. That voice has made her one of the top selling artists in the field of world sacred music. Amid the swelling ranks of devotional divas and mantra mamas, Snatam stands tall.” – Alan di Perna, writer for Yoga Journal, Guitar World and Rolling Stone

Shanti - One of the most compelling aspects of Shanti is the pure quality of Snatam Kaur’s chanting. Listeners

will find themselves drawn to the sense of innocence and peace she conveys track after track. Using traditional Indian and modern Western Instrumentation, each song dedicates an extended amount of time to such themes as destiny, in-finity, acceptance, strength, meditation, celebration, healing and peace. Forgoing a cookie cutter Top 40 format, the re-petitive nature of these songs allows listeners to really root themselves in the Sanskrit lyrics and experience the benefit of their wisdom. – New Age Retailer

“Anand is outstanding. If you are look-ing for a quiet place to find your center, to feel whole, this is it. Taking her time, loving each moment, her music patiently reveals its wholeness and love. Kudos to Snatam for spearheading the Celebrate Peace Tour, an international commit-ment to finding peace through music.”Debi Winston-Buzil, Yoga Chicago

Celebrate Peace – Spreading a hopeful mes-

sage of peace, Snatam Kaur’s new recording is a lush musical produc-tion of uplifting songs, invocations and prayers. Three new songs begin the recording, all featuring the lovely powerful vocals of Snatam Kaur sing-ing with a sincere belief in the power of celebrating peace… Aura Magazine

Recorded at concert halls, churches and yoga studios as Snatam Kaur and her ensemble traveled across North America, you’ll hear

S NATA M K AU R The Music

The Celebrate Peace concerts feature Eastern inspired chant music with Snatam Kaur as the lead vocalist accompanied

by unforgettable guitar playing by Gu-ruGanesha Singh, Manish Vyas’s master tabla rhythms, and Deva Tanmayo on violin and piano.

In her Celebrate Peace concerts, Snatam Kaur delivers a heart opening performance that combines musical traditions of East and West. Her enchanting voice brings you an experience of peace and deep devotion.

Beginning in 2008, Snatam Kaur and her Band will be spreading their message of peace across the country in a new double decker tour bus, powered exclusively by bio-diesel fuel. Provided by tour sponsor Cell-Nique, the new bus will minimize the tour’s footprint on our environment and serve as an active expression of Snatam Kaur’s commitment to the wellbeing of the planet. It is her hope that the eco-friendly tour bus will also inspire others to live more consciously on the earth.

The Celebrate Peace Band

Manish Vyas is a unique phenom-enon in the world of fusion music. A talented multi-in-strumentalist and singer, over the last few years he has emerged as both an extraordi-

nary performer and equally versatile record-ing artist. His ability to create music of differ-ent flavors is quite outstanding, incorporating effortlessly into his compositions devotion, celebration and silence. Having grown up in a family passionate about music, he brings to his craft not just an obvious talent, but a rich background in Kirtan, as well as Indian classical and folk musical styles.

A disciple of Ustad Allarakha for many years, Manish trained for a total of 15 years under different tabla maestros. He has since been a favorite accompanist of many artists in ‘new age music.’ Manish is also held in high regard as a composer with a talent for creating beauti-ful melodies. Most notably, internationally be-loved mantra singer Deva Premal has featured many of his compositions.

Deva Tanmayo ha i l s o r i g i na l l y from the far north of Scotland where she was classically trained in both violin and piano from the age of 7, Tanmayo is widely exper ienced in

both orchestral and solo settings. In addition to her instrumental portfolio, she is also an accomplished singer, appearing in settings as diverse as a Glasgow jazz quartet, the Celtic fusion band ‘In a Split Second’ and a London Gospel Choir.

Continuing this musical exploration, she has also studied classical Indian violin under the guidance of Ustad Faiyaz Hussain Khan. She is also known to play a mean irish fid-dle tune should the mood take her! She has toured with ‘Prem Joshua’ in both Europe and America, played with the group ‘Celtic Ragas’ at the wedding of Sir Paul McCartney and appears as the female vocalist on several CDs, including Manish’s highly acclaimed al-bum, Sattva.

GuruGanesha Singh is an icon of the yoga music genre. A musician deeply devoted to both his craft and the greater landscape of sacred sound, G u r u G a n e s h a ’ s contribution to

World Sacred Music is manifold. His two solo releases of Sikh-inspired chant music enhanced by his virtuoso guitar work, Pure Ganesh and Grateful Ganesh, are beloved by his fans world-wide. Pure Ganesh put GuruGanesha Singh on the map as a solo musician, topping New Age charts in early 2007 and receiving high critical acclaim from magazine review-ers in both New Age and Yoga publications. Long before GuruGanesha Singh released his solo albums, he was the force behind many well known chant musicians, including Snatam Kaur, Thomas Barquee, and Mirabai and re-leased several albums with other musicians in-cluding Game of Chants with Guru Singh and Grammy-winning singer, Seal.

GuruGanesha Singh is also the original founder of the record label, Spirit Voyage Records.

Snatam Kaur performs in over 100 venues each year, reaching tens of thousands of people worldwide. In 2007

she performed at many of the top yoga centers in the world, including; Sivananda Bahamas Yoga Retreat Cen-ter, Kripalu Center in Massachusetts, Omega Institute in

New York, and The Chopra Center in San Diego.

Peace ambas-sador and kirtan

(chanting) artist Snatam Kaur and musicians GuruGanesha Singh and Krishan Prakash came to Evanston the weekend of April 1 to lead workshops and kirtans. … The highlight of the weekend was the inspiring and uplift-ing kirtan at the Music Institute of Chicago on Saturday night. It was truly a heart-opening, joyful celebration of peace. With GuruGa-nesha Singh on guitar, Krishan Prakash on drums (both rock and tablas) and Snatam playing electric harmonium and violin, the group combined both Eastern and West-ern influences to create moving and upbeat sounds with jazzy guitar riffs and exotic drum beats that made it hard to sit still. Add the hundreds of voices of the audience chanting the names of God along with the musicians, and the house rocked! Sharon Steffensen, Yoga Chicago

Celebrate Peace Tour in the Media

. . . S n a t a m Kaur, who

sings both traditional mantras and contem-porary English songs, tours internationally and is well known for her beautiful voice. “The first time I heard her, I cried,” said Nathan Hayes, who asked the singer to perform here and who’ll be teaching yoga before her Sunday concert. “Her purity and clarity pierced right through my heart.” It’s the most incredible music I’ve heard in a long while,” said Mary Sabin of Olympia, who heard Kaur last year in Seattle. “I in-stantly loved her classically trained voice on soft spiritual chants and sounds.” Molly GilmoreThe Olympian, Olympia, Washington

In the cool shadows of the trees in the

garden of St. Joseph’s Cultural Center in Grass Valley, Snatam Kaur looked more like an an-gel than a singer on a world tour. Dressed in immaculate white, the 34-year-old American Sikh performer spoke of God, peace and mu-sic in a young, soothing voice… Kaur is now in Grass Valley as part of her international “Cel-ebrate Peace” concert tour. She has already performed in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Great Britain, Spain, Sweden, and Canada, as well as in 28 major cities in the Eastern United States and 20 West Coast cities. Her next stop is Sacramento, where she performs on Aug. 11... Kaur has a cozy band accompanying her. It is comprised of her guitarist, GuruGanesha, and her percussionist, Krishan Prakash, and herself. She plays the violin and the harmo-nium, an Indian reed instrument.Soumitros Sen, The Union, California

S n a t a m Kaur’s con-

certs are a joy. I can’t really explain them much better than that. I simply know that afterward I feel great and smile a lot. She has been on a world tour and in September comes to Southern California. On Sept. 1 her new album, Anand, produced by Spirit Voy-age will be released... Her tour sponsored by Peace Cereal, was dedicated to inspiring people of all walks of life to celebrate the peace that is within, and from that place of strength, to reach out to others as neighbors and nations in the spirit of peace. Steve Hays, Light Connection, San Diego, CA

For some singers or musicians, describing their voice or musical

composition as angelic would be hyperbole. But when listening to, learning from or con-versing with chant artist Snatam Kaur, angelic is an understatement…. she is aware of the power of prayer through the sacred chants she shares and their potential for changing the consciousness of the planet.Felicia M. TomaskoLA Yoga, Los Angeles

Svensk Yoga : Through music and the naad – the point where the

primal sound resonates with the finite energy – Snatam sees it as her task to help people get into that space where they can experi-ence a connection with the divine…….After meeting Snatam Kaur, the possibility of peace on earth seems like a real possibility. It is up to each one of us to start changing our con-sciousness, and then the world will follow.Angela ValentiSvensk Yoga, Sweden

Snatam travels the world introducing peo-ple to the universe of Sikh chants. The Western arrangements and instrumenta-tion make the songs easily accessible to the

widest possible audience, and have helped turn her CDs into one top seller after another on the New Age charts. Her album Shanti was so well received it was even considered for a Grammy nomination. And her recent European tour attracted enormous audiences. Thousands showed up.

One day when Snatam was eighteen, Yogi Bhajan heard her sing. Her voice was so beautiful, it moved him to tears. He urged her to con-tinue his work through the medium of her music. She has been sing-ing and teaching Sikh methods of yoga ever since.”

Linda Johnsen from her book Kirtan! Chanting as a Spiritual Path

“

I feel Snatam like a sister… we have the same heart to heart connection to our masters. So we meet there… in song.
