'The voice of an angel backed by mesmerising vocal and instrumental arrangements' Vin
The Mountain Song, featuring Dipika Delmenico on vocals, is available now on all platforms. The song was written by Andrew while in northern India on a Nada (sound) Yoga retreat lead by Dipika Delmenico.
"The Nada Yoga retreat in northern India involved a lot of singing, every day, as a form of meditation, including singing the Sanskrit mantra, Om Namah Shivaya, which can be interpreted as meaning 'I sing to the divine, including the divine in me'. I'm not exactly sure what that means but it might have something to do with the bliss I experienced from all the singing. This song came to me over the duration of the retreat while sitting by The Ganges (Ma Ganga) and listening"
Dipika Delmenico appears on the recording on vocals and harmonium.
