Hip elegance flows from the lovely voice of Wah! If you've taken a yoga class in the last five years, you have no doubt heard her music. Sultry and indisputably real, she's the most engaging performer in the yoga & lifestyle market. She's spent ten years cultivating her sound, reinventing the traditional kirtan of India. A lifelong yogi, beginning yoga and meditation at age 17, she traveled to Europe, India and Africa seeking community and spiritual teachings. Her band now combines these traditions musically - with reggae, Hindu chanting and pop - and in it she finds the pulse of America's evolution in spirituality. It's not a sit-down concert; everybody sings. Devotional traditions of the world mix with Western influences... people dance... sing... meditate... The room comes alive with a group expression, led by the charismatic and talented Wah! She plays with the audience, singing the melody one way and then another way, she jams with the band, and sometimes one song will go on for 40 minutes. There's a fervor to it, but it's not religion. It comes from the East but it's not exotic. Americans want something real, something that touches the heart; they're tapping into a new form of spirituality and Wah! is right there to bring it to life in a uniquely American way. The magic is in the event itself - an audience participation experience of ecstatic transcendence. Wah is a Sanskrit word meaning bliss beyond description; it is also the name of a talented musician. Wah! uses her music to bring audiences to a state of bliss.
