Beloved' is a love song to the heart. Tender, joyful and breathtakingly beautiful, this new release from Ashana is a healing balm for the soul that will lift your spirit and carry you into the arms of the Divine. Featuring Ashana's stunning angelic vocals and the luminous sound of crystal singing bowls, the songs on 'Beloved' reflect a deep sense of compassion, gentleness and lyrical sensitivity. Heard on this album is a haunting interpretation of the Lord's Prayer sung in the original Aramaic, and exquisite renditions of the Latin 'Dona Nobis Pacem' and the Gaelic prayer, 'Deep Peace'. Produced, arranged and co-written by Thomas Barquee, with Girish on tablas and percussion and Cameron Stone on cello, 'Beloved' blends sacred song, chant, mantra and crystal singing bowls into musical prayer, inviting you to step into grace and be bathed in pure love.
About the Artist:
A graduate of New York's Mannes College of Music, Ashana spent many years performing as both a soloist and an ensemble member in New York's early music scene. Eventually, she decided to increase her range and segue into more modern forms of music like jazz and contemporary pop music. Her musical experimentations led her to the crystal singing bowls, whose reverberated voice became a central component to her musical endeavours.
