Love is Space

Love is Space

Deva Premal

Love Is Space, Deva Premal’s second solo album, contains six sacred mantras, including Gatè Gatè, the heart sutra of Buddha, and Om Mani Padme Hum, the ancient Tibetan invocation. Also included is the exquisitely performed West African chant, Idè Werê Werê.

The sound texture is rich and expansive, with Deva’s beautiful voice calling us all on to higher ground, and into the sanctuary of our own hearts.

Deva’s mother was a teacher of medieval music,. She offered lessons in piano, harpsichord, and recorder, and leading a local church choir. Deva’s father was a visual artist who had taken up Middle Eastern drumming when Deva was born. In addition, both parents had embraced Zen spirituality and Eastern philosophy, well before Deva’s birth. They had a daily practice of chanting in Sanskrit. When Deva was in the womb, for example, her father sang the Gayatri mantra to her daily. When she was a little girl, he sang it to her nightly, as a lullaby. And so Deva’s childhood was filled with chamber music, drum circles, and mantras – in particular, the Gayatri mantra, which back then Deva had no idea was one of the most revered and powerful mantras of all.
