Description:
Donna De Lory's voice and lyrics seem to transcend time and genre. On The Lover & The Beloved, she blends Sanskrit chants and modern melodies, with some English lyrics peppered throughout.
These sanskrit mantras bubble with a groove and atmosphere that takes tradition to heaven and back. Donna's voice resonates with ether and earth--beauty that asks you to join in and become one with the sound of deep celebration.
Biography:
Donna De Lory has been around the big top of American pop music for most of her life. Raised in a musical home, Donna made her own professional debut at age 8 and the ensuing career, including solo CDs and background singing for Madonna, introduced her to a world of music she hadn't heard before: At one point, I went to places like Brazil and Israel to promote my solo record, explains De Lory. And I was getting influenced by a lot of world music. I started studying Asian dance prior to making my first video and that put me on a whole new path musically as well.
The sense of freedom and purpose Donna found by adding Sanskrit chants to her repertoire, which meant that she had to adjust her notions of what qualifies as a performance, led Donna directly to her latest venture, a Sanskrit chant CD for the record label, Ajna Music. And while a collection of ancient Indian mantras set to modern beats may seem like a departure, for Donna De Lory, this seamless blend of east and west, devotion and pop, is just the next bold step in her continuing musical evolution.
