| Kirtan/Concert |
| David Newman (Durga Das) and Mira |
| Thursday, July 23 at 7 pm - 9 pm |
As Yoga continues to spread its wings in America, a new component of the ancient tradition is emerging as part of the new spiritual music explosion. It is called Kirtan!
Kirtan is a group gathering where sacred mantras are sung together in a call and response style. It is a unique concert setting where music and singing are treated as meditation and the audience is as much a part of the band as the band members themselves. All throughout the country the awareness of this ancient practice is growing.
David Newman or Durga Das, as he is also known, is a Kirtan Chant Artist, singer songwriter and a practitioner and educator of Bhakti Yoga - the yoga of love. David travels extensively singing Kirtan (Indian devotional chanting) and sharing the spiritual, devotional, meditative and musical aspects of yoga. David's music embodies a devotional mysticism, distinctive musicality, poetic intimacy and a deep respect for India's ancient chant tradition. His recordings expand the traditional Kirtan medium by incorporating a wide range of musical and lyrical elements and by exploring a vast palette of progressive production influences. David recordings include Lotus Feet: A Kirtan Revolution, Soul Freedom, Leap of Grace: The Hanuman Chalisa, the CD/DVD set Into the Bliss and his latest… Love, Peace, Chant. His live Kirtans and concerts are joyous, ecstatic, uplifting and exploding with energy.
A dedicated Kirtan Troubadour, David tours throughout the world with MIRA, a celebrated devotional singer, recording artist and percussionist.
"David's music, especially his voice, elevates the ear and then allows one to drive deep into the sweetness of the heart." - Sharon Gannon, Founder Jivamukti Yoga
