Carnatic music is one of the oldest musical forms still being practiced today, with roots in ancient Hindu musical traditions of the 12th century. With a foundation in Indian styles of raga (melodic modes) and tala (rhythmic cycles), centered around the voice and the interplay of vocals with the mrdangam (drum) and violin, Carnatic music blends complex devotional compositions and intricate improvisation.
In her dedication to the expression of this divine art, Emmanuelle evokes the beauty and power of centuries of cultural and musical tradition, with years of discipline and practice infusing each heart-opening note. The tender strength of her voice encompasses both the vast depth of the art form and the intimacy of the heart. When performers like Emmanuelle bring classical art to life, the modern milieu is transcended and the beauty and vitality of the ancient world is re-awakened for today.
About Emmanuelle Martin
Growing up with parents classically trained in Western music, from before she could talk Emmanuelle was surrounded by the practice and appreciation of music with merit. By age 4 she had started Western musical training. Her father, as well as being classically trained in Western music, practiced and taught Carnatic singing, the classical music of southern India, but it was a style of music that didn’t interest Emmanuelle — until a vocal teacher from India came to visit. After a couple hours in his workshop, hearing his pure expression of Carnatic music, something shifted in her. She was irrevocably hooked.
At the age of 19, she moved to Chennai, India to devote herself to the art of Carnatic singing, and she lived there for nearly 10 years, studying with renowned music master T. M. Krishna. Carnatic music is passed down orally from teacher to student in a millennia-old tradition of discipline and commitment. Emmanuelle has excelled as one of a rare few Westerners to undertake an apprenticeship to this demanding and ancient art form. She now travels between India, France and the United States performing, teaching and continuing her own training, driven by a profound commitment to her art.

"Los Angeles based Kirtaniyas are a global Kirtan collective from London (UK), Hilo (Hawaii), Hamburg (Germany) and Gainesville (Florida). These energetic, multitalented twenty-somethings grew up in a Vedic culture of song, dance, philosophy and devotion between ashrams and temples both in India and the western world.
Lead vocalist Vijay first met electronic music producer and mridanga drummer Nitai in 2003 in the sacred village of Vrindavana, India while studying devotional Indian folk music known as “Kirtan”. This rare traditional art form is an ancient call-and-response devotional mantra chanting practice, that originated in the Indian subcontinent over 5000 years ago. Joined together with his musically gifted wife Sarasvati, soulful vocalist, Rasika, and drummer Nitai, Vijay formed “Kirtaniyas” in 2009.
The four have since travelled the world to over 15 countries infusing new life to these ancient chants with youthful spirit and energy. Early 2012 saw the release of the long anticipated first album called “Heart & Soul” through Silenzio (Europe) and White Swan Records (USA). Funded largely by the groups growing fan base, the album debuted at #11 on the itunes World music chart.
All the band members are multi-instrumentalists accomplished in traditional Indian style vocals, harmonium, classical violin, tabla and mrdanga drums, hand cymbals, bells, gub gubi and electronic music production. They have collaborated with artists such as Kula Shaker, Cheb i Sabbah, The Polish Ambassador, MC Yogi, Jai Uttal, DJ Drez, Hiatus, SaQi and others."

Tina Malia returns to Sedona in May!

Tina Malia
Singer/Composer/Producer/Multi-Instrumentalist
Tina Malia’s prodigious talent spans many musical genres and disciplines from pop to world to electronic. As a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer, her own catalog is complemented by studio and live work with iconic artists such as Bonnie Raitt, India.Arie, Bassnectar, Jai Uttal, Kenny Loggins, Idan Raichel and Donna DeLory.
Tina’s vision is an all-encompassing artistic perspective that embraces many of the world’s musical cultures, languages and spiritual traditions.
Creativity and diversity are her very lifeblood. Of Korean and Yugoslavian descent, Tina was tutored in classical piano and voice from an early age by her mother. But it was her dad who fostered her interest in guitar, which led her to discover folk and popular music forms. Her mentors included Joni Mitchell, Bjork, Sade and Alison Krauss.
Tina’s self-produced debut album, "Shores of Avalon," appeared in 2000. Steeped in poetic Celtic and world instrumentation, the disc signified the arrival of a major new talent. At this point, Tina met pioneering world devotional artist Jai Uttal who introduced her to Sanskrit mantra chanting.
Mantra is reflected on her 2005 album "Jaya Bhagavan,” which was notable for its highly original fusion of world instruments and global beats with vocals in Sanskrit. It was followed in 2006 by “The Silent Awakening,” which was infused with poetic lyricism and a pop sensibility. Recently, Tina released her pop/electronic masterpiece “The Lost Frontier,” which is being called “superb, alluring, powerful, and soulful.” The title track, as first single and riveting video, kicked off the new project. The album's second single is “Serendipity.” Please visit www.TinaMalia.com to learn more, to purchase the new album and to get updates regarding The Lost Frontier tour.
