Artist Wah Bio: Wah is a word that pervades Eastern cultures, and as it turns out, means just about the same thing in every language. This sound expresses the experience of deep infinite understanding and wisdom, indescribable bliss. Wah has carried this name for 23 years and she is still on that path of bliss, seeking to understand the nature of her name. She grew up in many places all over the world, and never really had a home in a traditional American setting. In 1976 Wah! moved into an ashram in Brooklyn, NY and spent 13 years in rigorous spiritual training. She immersed herself in yoga, meditation, study of ancient texts, singing the Divine Name, and achieving personal perfection, arising in the early morning hours for meditation and yoga, and spending a major portion of each day in practices of heightened awareness. Wah’s music reflects a thirst for spiritual experience. Chanting is part of her daily routine, her practice. Meditation and devotion are woven into her daily existence. Ancient scriptures and poetry, meditative technology, and longing for God are all part of her everyday thought.Her existence is one of spiritual pursuit – it’s all she talks about, in the music and in person. She has always been immersed in some kind of spiritual practice – in Africa, in India, in America. It is her love, her passion, her ultimate fulfillment.

Wah! has had the opportunity to share her music and spiritual experience with peers, friends and fans. Participating in national conferences and retreats (Yoga Journal Conference, Kripalu, Omega Institute, Midwest Yoga Conference, Southwest Yoga Conference, Naropa Institute, to name a few) has allowed Wah! to feel part of a global spiritual community.

maaCD -Maa Wah!’s much anticipated follow up to the incredible Love Holding Love. Sultry grooves, throbbing club beats, a sensuous blend of Sanskrit mantra and English. Wah! steps up the tempo and ignites the bliss with her band featuring Mike Haziza on beatbox, Katisse Buckingham on flute, Matthew Martin Kelly on keyboards, Christian Teele on drumkit and percussion, Kirk Margo on guitar, Wah! on harmonium and bass, Paul Hollman on keyboards and sampling. Great for yoga class… Sanskrit and English.
