Indian Singer Deepak Kumar Pareek Performs at Jivamukti Yoga New York City Saturday April 14th 7:30pm

Deepak Kumar Pareek, acclaimed Indian singer, composer and guitarist, makes his first appearance at JIVAMUKTI YOGA, in a concert welcoming the Spring and celebrating the birth of Lord Rama, a favorite among Hindu deities.

Deepak will honor Rama Navi by performing romantic ghazals, devotional bhajans, and classic film songs that exalt the spirit and soothe the soul. He is without doubt the most exciting singer to come out of India for many years. His voice is extraordinary with great range, subtlety and clarity. Deepak studied with eminent masters in India from whom he learned the perfection of sound and rhythm.

Deepak has been thrilling audiences since he was five years old. He is best known for singing ancient Indian love poetry set to his own musical compositions. Classical ragas are the basis for his romantic songs which are filled with deep emotions and infinite spirit. Deepak believes that music is the highest form of meditation and yoga.

Deepak’s movie star looks and regal bearing transport his audiences to the ancient and spiritual land of Mother India. His natural charisma and serene allure, combined with his glorious voice and supreme musicality, guarantee a memorable experience for each listener. Deepak’s performances are very much in demand. He has performed at Christies, Sirius Satellite Radio with Deepak Chopra, at Mirken Concert Hall for the Foundation of Universal Sacred Music and in concert at the ARCH in Manhattan. He is on the faculty of the East-West School of Music at Ananda ashram in Monroe, New York and teaches vocal and instrumental music to students in New York and Philadelphia.

Deepak has sung on the Voice of America, on Indian National TV (Door Dershan) and on All India Radio. Deepak’s original composition “Moray Avugoon” won the Oceanic Award in the Inspirational Division of the musical competition “In the Name of Salt” in 2006. His CD “Enchanted Evening” is for sale at Jivamukti Yoga.

Like some jazz, some forms of Indian music are improvisational, making each concert a fresh and unique experience. When Deepak sings, he is totally absorbed in his music, creating intricate ornamentations and delightful images. Deepak works in a unique way with his accompanists, leading them according to his nuances. His concerts appeal to both Eastern and Western audiences through their universal language of love and romance. His music crosses all cultural boundaries and touches the deepest part of the soul. In this performance Deepak will be accompanied by two talented tabla players, Naren Budhakar and Shivprasad Kotagal. A guest appearance will be made by Frank Marotta Jr. on guitar and actress Sandi Higgins will recite English translations.
