SOUVIK CHAKRABORTY look for musical solutions together . Collaborations are very interesting ! It is always an experiment in interaction with different Energies ! I ' m not afraid to dive into musical styles that , at first glance , are not in harmony with the Mantras ! But do not forget , as a vocal teacher and a person who has been researching music and its influence on humans for about 20 years , I can say for sure that any music is important ! Each style has its listeners who get joy and high from listening to their favorite style . And Mantras in their Vibration are Higher than any material identification ! The Mantras are pure and capable of penetrating deeper than just the superficial perception of a person conditioned by a particular cultural tradition . Nothing can desecrate a Mantra or impair its vibration !
5 ) We are going through a major global crisis with the pandemic and the pain associated with it . How has this impacted you as a musician ?
Uma : In general , this is a very difficult time for the music industry , as well as for many other areas of life ! But the most important thing is to maintain the inner Fire and not to let it go out . Of course , the lack of touring has shaken our financial situation a lot . And in general , it is difficult for an artist to feel that he is needed without concerts . But we have a very grateful audience , and by switching to live streams we got a very large audience coverage on socials and this helped and inspired us !
We also had a lot of viral videos on FB and Insta , which gained and continue to gain millions of views .
It gives joy that most people like what we do ! In general , in any activity , the main thing is not to break down and continue !
6 ) What would your advice be to the young musicians who are experimenting in similar genres like psytrance , EDM , etc .
Uma : If you monitor our activity , you will see that we have been singing Mantras in public for over 10 years , in different musical styles , and in the beginning , we toured as an acoustic band . But because of the success of the Shiva Tandava Stotram remix by Blazy & Gottinari , we decided to work in Psy Trance and EDM styles . We like that Our meditation has become dynamic and now I do not sit during concerts , but jump , sometimes I even fly
( just kidding )! But the essence has not changed !
I advise any artist in any genre not to dwell only on the creative process , but to strive to become professionals in music production , develop as a manager to promote music , and also be a bit of a director , cameraman , content manager , etc . and then you will be noticed for sure ! Do not strive to get everything at once . Do not give up because of failures ! Believe in your dream and it will come true !
How are you planning your upcoming concerts or performances , what ’ s in the pipeline from SP ?
Uma : In 2021 , our India tour failed , but , we do not lose hope of visiting India this fall !
We have plans to release new tracks in collaboration with different artists ! Do not miss the July 13th release of “ Aigiri Nandini ” in 2 Languages with Synesthetic We will also release the track , “ Om Namo Shivaya !” with the Legendary Mandrogora . You can already listen to it on our streams .
We also got back to working with acoustic tracks ! This year , our acoustic video with Shiva Tandava Stotram has collected more than 8M views on FB ! Many Indian listeners have shared these videos . So we decided to do some singles on Shiva Tandava stotram , Hare Krishna and Maha Mantra in acoustics !
We wish the readers of the magazine not to get sick and live not tomorrow , but right now .
