“A volcano of a voice!” --- LA Yoga Pages
Dave
Stringer has been profiled publications as diverse as Time, Billboard,
In Style, and Yoga Journal Germany as a leader of the new American
kirtan movement. Kirtan (from the Sanskrit word meaning “to sing”) is an
East Indian form of mantra chanting that is becoming popular as a
participatory live music experience at festivals around the world. As
Dave says, at a kirtan “You’re not just listening to the music, you are
the music.“
Dave’s sound marries the transcendent mysticism of
traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, groove-oriented sound
of American gospel music. A spontaneous and articulate public speaker,
he probes the dilemmas of the spirit with a sly and unorthodox sense of
humor. His work translates the ancient traditions of kirtan and yoga
into inspiring and thoroughly modern participatory theatre, open to a
multiplicity of interpretations, and accessible to all.
