Ide Were Were is originally a traditional African song based on the ancient traditional chant for Ochún, the Orichá (goddess) of love from the Yoruba religion, which was practiced in what is today Nigeria and Benin. Taken by the slaves to the New World, it formed the base of the Santeria religion in Cuba and the Candomblé in Brazil. Like a black Aphrodite, her seductive and sensual power encapsulates the feminine ideal. In nature, she rules over rivers.
Praful’s much slower chill-out adaptation and harmonisation was recorded by the singer Deva Premal in the year 2000 and has since become a highly popular song in singing circles all over the globe. This is Praful’s first own recording, featuring guest vocalist Pernilla Kannapinn.

Nessi Gomes - You Guided Me (Live In Olam Katan)

A man stands tall amongst the trouble in the world
And a woman stands tall her eyes sparkle to us all
They carry a space of serenity like angels in the dust
They say open your eyes and heart sweet girl, and start to trust

It's in the space and the world around you 
Oh that's what they say
It's in the space and the world that is you Yehhhhh

They showed me, that the tools are in my hands
And they showed me, I can be as peaceful as they can 
If I just focus on what I do
Whether it's washing my shoes
Or cutting up the food, that day I was walking to school

And I loved standing next to them that day
And I loved the way they looked at me that way 
And I love, how they help me see what's true 
That what's in me, is in you
What's in me, is in you
They slowly walked away
For a moment I felt lonely
Then I remembered what they said and I did feel holy 
I feel like an angel

Indian American musician Sheela Bringi has been exploring the connections between her ancestral and actual homelands her entire life. The Grammy-nominated musician sings and plays a 36-string harp, the Indian harmonium and bansuri (Indian bamboo flute).

As a young woman Bringi was influenced by M.I.A. and Dead Can Dance, studied with Cecil Taylor and Meredith Monk, while at the same time deepened her studies with Indian classical masters like Pandit G.S. Sachdev and Ustaad Aashish Khan.

This unique background has resulted in her debut album, Incantations (Black Swan Sounds), rooted in India’s classical music tradition and the beauty of its mantras, as well as a groundbreaking exploration of American jazz and blues. The album was released in 2014 and garnered praise from National Public Radio, the Guardian, Public Radio International and more, and debuted at #9 on the iTunes World Music chart.

She has performed in a wide range of venues, including concert halls and universities presenting traditional material, yoga studios leading kirtans and in dance clubs overtop throbbing, bass-heavy beats (she’s toured with Karsh Kale, DJ Drez, and many others).
