Kirtan with Devadas and Friends

Saturday January 20 2024 7pm-9pm

Devadas is a devotee and a singer/songwriter based in Brooklyn.  He began making music as a teenager in his hometown of Portland, ME. After moving to NYC in the early 90′s, he became interested in eastern spirituality, and met his Guru, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. Under Her inspiration, he began the regular practice of bhajan, traditional Hindu call and response devotional singing, leading kirtans all over New York, the East Coast and India. He has recorded a wide variety of CDs and in 2012, collaborated with J Mascis, to produce and record the film score for the feature documentary, One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das. In 2013, he produced Nina Rao's chant album, Antarayaami, and released a double album of his own, Brooklyn Mellows. His latest album, Radio Nada, is an brilliant juxtaposition of ancient mantra and modern lyricism, mixing guitars, electronics, tablas, harmonium and much more, for a refreshing soundscape kirtan album.
