Snatam Kaur, the American singer, songwriter, and author, is known for her deeply spiritual and meditative kirtan music. Rooted in the Sikh and Kundalini Yoga traditions, her music is a form of devotion, a way to connect with something higher. Raised in an environment rich with sacred chants, she has dedicated her life to sharing these sounds with the world.
Her discography is impressive, featuring albums like “Prem “(2002), “Grace “(2004), “Anand “(2006), “Liberation’s Door” (2009), “Beloved “(2018), and “Nirankaar “(2022). Each album carries a sense of peace and spirituality, inviting listeners into a space of meditation and inner stillness. But beyond her music, she is also a peace activist and author, using her voice not only to sing but to inspire and uplift.
On March 21st, Snatam Kaur kicked off her European tour with a mesmerizing concert at Stary Maneż in Gdańsk. The evening was completely sold out, with every seat occupied and additional audience members standing. The concert hall was filled to the brim with eager listeners, ready to immerse themselves in the healing sounds of her music.
The stage was bathed in soft, warm colors, adorned with delicate floral arrangements and a beautiful carpet of rose petals. As the band took their places, they were welcomed with enthusiastic applause. Once the cheers subsided, Snatam Kaur greeted the audience warmly and invited everyone to join in the chanting of sacred mantras.
The performance unfolded in an atmosphere of warmth, shared energy, and deep connection. Between songs, Snatam Kaur shared personal reflections, anecdotes from her life, and thoughts on the significance of prayer and meditation. The audience also had the opportunity to hear songs from her latest album, “Heartflow“. The collective chanting filled the venue, at times bringing a smile to my face, evoking deep contemplation, or even moving me to tears.
As the concert drew to a close, Snatam Kaur gracefully danced, radiating joy and gratitude. It was a night of beauty, unity, and spiritual connection – an unforgettable experience for everyone present.
