Sarasota is once again honored to have Snatam Kaur return to Sarasota’s Riverview Performing Arts Center on October 23. Snatam’s concert tours bring her joyous, uplifting music to audiences everywhere as she performs compositions from her Grammy-nominated album Beloved and much-beloved songs from her rich catalog of classic world devotional CDs. 

“The concert is an opportunity for people to be awakened to the power of mantra,” she explains, “to fall in love with mantras and be healed by them. With these concerts, I hope to connect people with these mantras, so they get a sense of their own intrinsic light and love. I know for myself that chanting together in these settings is super healing and powerful for relieving stress, tension and that feeling of being overwhelmed which I think is common for in this day and age. It’s a way for people to come and find that sense of peace again.” 

Snatam Kaur is an American singer, peace activist and author raised in the Sikh and Kundalini Yoga tradition. She has an amazing ability to transform traditional chants of India into a contemporary sound that appeals to the modern ear and awakens an ancient yearning in the soul. Her latest CD Beloved is a sound medicine tool kit—each track has a specific healing effect.
