Hassan Hakmoun is America's most prominent purveyor of traditional Moroccan Gnawa music. Trancelike repetition, call-and-response chanting and the use of the bass-like sintir have made this musical form sacred to mystics for centuries. Hakmoun will be performing a traditional set, apart from his "other world" of Gnawa/rock fusion. His latest CD, The Gift (Triloka), is a superb display of both worlds. Also on the trance-inducing circuit is Wah!, who wears many hats, performing alongside the likes of Krishna Das as well as leading her own kirtans and pop/world/reggae blends. She will be leading a traditional chanting session.

Vishal Vaid has been fusing classical Ghazal vocals with electronica in Karsh Kale's band, Realize Live, for some time. His beautiful, eloquent and piercing talents will seduce attendees into their own meditative calm. Another New York-based artist, Haale, combines her Persian background of setar and Farsi lyrics with intelligent, hard-edged rock/blues jams, taking sacred Iranian folk songs to modern audiences. MJ of the San Francisco-based Gnawa/jamband fusion project Hamsa Lila will also be performing.

******************European Yoga Festivel, Fondjouan, France (250 km southwest of Paris). July 31 - August 8, 2003

For more information contact:

Hari Jiwan Kaur E-mail: hjk@yogitea.nl Tel.: (3120) 624 1977

The European Yoga Festival will take place on the beautiful grounds of Fondjouan in central France. Picture yourself there, lawns and forests spreading out before you and two lakes peacefully reflecting the morning and afternoon sun, a majestic chateau throning majestically at the site's midpoint. Imagine morning yoga as the sun rises above the trees.

1000 people from as many as 20 different countries come together for 8 days on the grounds of a country estate in the Loire Valley in France, to practice Kundalini Yoga, White Tantra Yoga and other activities related to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. Each year the Festival highlights a specific aspect of Yoga, but it also provides special attention to newcomers who have little or no experience of Yoga practice. The day starts early with yoga and meditation in a big meadow during the "ambrosial" hours as the sun slowly rises. The highlight of the festival is a three-day White Tantra Yoga session. White Tantra Yoga is a very powerful cleansing yoga where couples sit in long lines and practice Kundalini Yoga mantras, mudras (hand postures) and breathing exercises.

The beautiful site "Domaine de Fondjouan" offers lots of space, silent forests all around, two beautiful lakes and ample modern facilities. Not only is there plenty of camping space to put up your tent, there are also comfortable dormitories and rooms available.

The theme of this year is the third body, also called the Positive Mind. The "Positive Mind" is one of the three mental bodies, along with the "negative" and the "neutral" minds. "The Positive Mind seeks out what is useful and what can be of benefit. It is results oriented and proposes many solutions and possible avenues of action.
