Culture Connect- Get the world to taste India
UK's Tanya Wells sings the yoga invocation at the UN International Yoga Day 2016
Befitting yoga's global appeal, I was delighted to hear the opening invocation song for the United Nations event being sung by a singer called Tanya Wells, from the UK, accompanied by her band called the Seven Eyes. It was such a reverential and soothing rendition that we wanted to know more about Tanya Wells and her work. Singing effortlessly and so totally immersed in the moment her song made me think- "wow, isn't this truly a culture connect of the best kind". For a singer from a totally different culture, to be able to master the intonations of the language, understand the nuances of meaning and be lost in the mood really pointed to someone who had really tasted India.
