Remixes CD~Donna De Lory. Donna's soulful voice is unlike any other in today's realm of devotional music artists. Blending Eastern and Western influences, she creates beguiling original compositions that weave English lyrics with familiar Sanskrit mantras. A devoted student of yoga and spiritual teachings, De Lory's lushly conceived solo albums, like her 2009 ecstatic groove Sanctuary, are not only inspired by Western pop, but Indian devotional music, Sanskrit mantras, Northern African grooves, psychedelic arrangements, and dance beats. Donna blends her rich spiritual practice, sonic collages and diverse musical inspirations into a unique, world music-meets-kirtan style that's been called 'the perfect combination of earth Mama and fairy child, with a voice that oscillates between the passionate laments of Janis Joplin and the crystal clarity of Enya. Music has always been a catalyst in De Lory's life. 'Music connects me to the divine. Playing music is my yoga, it is my bliss. When I play, I get lost in the music, my mind stops, I am in the moment and I am free. This is a place I never want to leave.
