I just returned to Albania after spending a month in Germany and in England. In Germany I performed two songs at the Ananda Marga conference (held in a retreat center near Alzey).

Dada Veda and friends at the Divine Moon Festival

In England, I gave a concert-lecture in Derby and performed three sets at the Divine Moon Festival in Portland. It was a great experience for me, and I was happy to be able to collaborate with Brian Sullivan (who played fiddle) and Rasviharii (who played electric bass). Before and after the Divine Moon Festival I spent a number of days in a small studio in London and recorded 12 songs for a forthcoming CD.

The songs blend the ideas of yoga and neo humanism with country and folk music. A fellow performer at the Divine Moon Festival said that my music is “Country and Eastern.” I had never thought of it like that and I thank her for the comment.

If you would like a concert of Country and Eastern Music performed in your locale, then just send me an email and I will be happy to oblige you!
