From LarisaStow.com:
"I believe that music is the bridge that brings us together. Music is the first place we start celebrating each other's cultures. When I integrate sounds from another culture, I feel like I am embracing it... declaring our oneness."
Larisa Stow is known for her thought-provoking, soul-searching lyrics and haunting melodies. Most recently, her passion to integrate the sounds of popular music, world-based rhythms and melodies with the ancient form of Kirtan, devotional call and response music, has driven her to ...[compile] engaging Kirtans that are a seamless blend of east meets west. Many have termed this ancient form of music "sacred music." As Bernard Bauer of Music Connection says, "This is music that touches the heart. Larisa will move your emotions- not with a shove- but with a caress."
Larisa brings that same magic of spirit to her live performances. "Performing live is my favorite part of being an artist. I love connecting with a live audience and the exchange of energy that happens- the drama of it all." Larisa is warm and engaging "she has this amazing gift for making you feel like you're an old friend, even though she's never met you before. Whether she's in front of an intimate audience of 30 or 1,000 she's got this great gift to reach out, touch you with her lyrics and make you want to dance at one moment or sit in your seat and cry in the next. She takes her audience on an emotional journey that they seem so glad to go on with her."
The performance will feature an integration of pop/rock grooves with the east Indian music called Kirtan, devotional call-and-response which involves the audience.
Larisa and her band provide an unforgettable unique experience that leave an audience feeling the magic of her music. After watching Larisa perform recently, Terri Nunn of Berlin hopped on stage and declared, "This is the music of the future!"
"We are frequently asked what the meaning of Gathering Guru is... in Sanskrit literally means "that which turns the darkness into light." Our primary intention as a group is to "gather" together and share our music from the fullness of our hearts and inspire all present to join in with singing and dancing so that a magical light-filled event is co-created by all."
