As the very first person to place Kirtan in the World Music Charts Europe with views of her videos running in the millions, Manika\u2019s music has received overwhelming praise from the global Sikh community while also transcending and touching the souls of music lovers from all walks of life throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, US-based Six Degrees Records (and Believe India) released her new album <em>Ek<\/em> (meaning \u2018Oneness\u2019).Just as love sometimes rises above definition and beyond what words can adequately express, Manika Kaur\u2019s music soars beyond celestial boundaries. With a beautifully haunting voice that encompasses the rich textures and colors of sound\u2014and travels beyond the barriers of language\u2014her album <em>Ek<\/em> is at once healing and uplifting as it soothes the soul and invites the human spirit to bathe in the oneness of love, wisdom and truth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20144\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-009.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-009-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Manika Kaur\u2019s music remains true to the venerated traditions of Kirtan and features some of the rarest instruments in the world, performed by the very best (and some of the only) remaining players of each. Every song on the album leads with one of these different and specific instruments accompanying her vocal, in order to showcase each item and to enhance the overall essence of the work. The traditional elements of the music are then combined with modern sounds, created by some of London\u2019s most renowned music producers. This precarious balance has been handled with great care in order to ensure that neither factor outweighs the other. The result is a unique piece of art, as hypnotic as it is mesmerizing.<\/p>\n<p>The amazing Singh Twins were commissioned to create new artwork for the release, which is also available as vinyl. 2020 saw the release of two special albums with renowned producer Martin \u2018Youth\u2019 Glover, who has remixed Manika\u2019s work to create <em>Journey (The Ambient Mixes)<\/em> and <em>Yoga Ambient Remixes<\/em>. Youth also painted the album cover.<\/p>\n<p>Kaur\u2019s third album <em>Sacred Words<\/em> (2018) was able to highlight her music and culture to a wide range of demographics across the UK and internationally, while simultaneously attracting attention to the varied charitable endeavors of which she is a patron. She is one of the only female proponents of Kirtan, providing a new and unique perspective to the much revered genre.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20143\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-002.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-002-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kaur has made multiple appearances on BBC Television, performing live on <em>The Saturday Show<\/em> and being interviewed on the BBC News channel.

Her work also shines a spotlight on the epidemic of farmer suicide, drug abuse and female infanticide in Punjab. Her work includes schooling (she personally sponsors the education of over two hundred children), building houses, providing books, laptops, phone and solar lights and meeting the needs of the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>We talked with Manika Kaur about how her journey continues to inspire others as they follow their own path and how her approach to music empowers listeners to search for the light within, celebrate the uniqueness and truth that lives inside and embrace compassionate living.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>MANIKA KAUR<\/strong> Interview<br \/>\nwith\u00a0<strong><em>M Music &amp; Musicians<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>magazine publisher,<strong> Merlin David<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>How did the idea of \u201cLiberate Me\u201d come to you?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I first began singing Kirtan at the age of 11, I barely understood what I was singing. Over time, I started to look for the translations of the Sikh hymns hoping to deepen my connection because I never learned Punjabi. In fact, I have no musical training and am self-taught in singing Kirtan and playing the harmonium. With every album I write, I always sing some parts in English and hope it will help listeners connect more deeply. As my understanding developed, it enabled me to truly flourish, to break free from low frequency thoughts and embrace the joy of compassionate living. I hope I can continue to have the self-realizations I need to keep growing in this direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20142\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-003.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-003-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-003-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><br \/>\nTell us the process of writing \u201cLiberate Me\u201d to producing it for the album.<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve released 51 tracks, most of which are original compositions, so by now I do hear the music in my head and the way I want it to sound. Working with producer Oskar Vizan, whom I\u2019ve known for years, really allowed me to freely express my thoughts and feelings. The original production features Francesca Ter-Berg on cello and Oskar on strings, keyboards and drum programming. It was beautiful, but it felt incomplete. I reached out to Ustad Sukhvinder Singh Pinky and we recorded him on several tracks for this album.\u00a0I\u2019ve followed his work for many years and loved his collaboration, <em>A Meeting by the River<\/em>, with Ry Cooder and Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt\u2014which led to him receiving a Grammy award in 1994.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did the video concept come together?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I wanted to show people that worship is beyond a stereotypical image that we often see. Spirituality is an expression of your inner divinity and when we express that energy compassionately and fearlessly\u2014it becomes worship. It cannot be forced. It must arise naturally. This looks different on each person and that individual expression should be rejoiced. The journey to connecting with love, wisdom and truth involves first relinquishing blame and recognizing one\u2019s ego.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did the new album <em>Ek<\/em> evolve?<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Ek <\/em>meaning \u2018one\u2019 is about combating the false illusion of separation. In \u2018oneness\u2019 there is freedom and opportunity to realize we are each simply a DNA molecule within the body of humanity. In recognizing this truth, we begin to transcend and connect with our divine-self. With this album, I have pushed the boundaries further\u2014finding new frequencies to send into the world that will hopefully resonate with those who are willing to journey within. Each track features a different instrument from the east and the west\u2014such as sarangi, shehnai, dilruba, saxophone, guitar and cello. It\u2019s made for quite a fascinating musical journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which song are you especially glad was included in this collection?<\/strong><br \/>\nCurrently, I\u2019m very excited about \u201cDeh Siva\u201d\u2014about battling the ego.

Kirtan has been vital on this expedition. Singing and chanting these ancient love letters to God opens us up to our inner essence. This in turn helps to combat the false-self (ego). For many of us, happiness is temporary\u2014which usually indicates we are living fearfully. By clinging to the false-self and maintaining an outward focus, our inner essence suffers. This will cause havoc within and can at times be detrimental. Kirtan is non-denominational\u2014it is the language of the soul. Sikhism is not a religion\u2014it is a path for those who seek truth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Just as love sometimes rises above definition and beyond what words can adequately express, Manika Kaur\u2019s music soars beyond celestial boundaries.

My father is a great storyteller and writes beautifully. I was fortunate to grow up listening to him relay stories of the Sikh Gurus and countless noble-hearted souls who walked this earth. As a family, we would often sit together\u2014jamming out on tabla and harmonium. It is there that my love for music really began. The <em>kirtans<\/em> that I sing are passages contained within The Sikh Holy Scriptures that I refer to as love letters to God. I compose melodies to these passages to share with those who seek it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What songwriting tip would you like to offer?<\/strong><br \/>\nI always remind myself of \u2018why\u2019 I am writing\/composing. I then set an intention and put that out into the world and just allow the sound current to blossom. The words or music feels like it is rising up from within and coming through the heart chakra, which is truly pleasurable. Do not rush or force creativity\u2014instead, let go into it. For me, this is true art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What instruments\/equipment can you not live without?<\/strong><br \/>\nI play the harmonium (an Indian, portable, organ-sounding instrument). I enjoy composing with my harmonium. A smart phone makes it extremely convenient to record melodies and easily save them. But most importantly, I can look up passages from the Sikh Holy Scriptures to find inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which Top 5 Musicians\u00a0inspired you to become a musician?<\/strong><br \/>\nNusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sarah Brightman, Sam Cooke, Bhai Niranjan Singh and Sukhbir.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20140\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-007.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-007-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your Top 5 favorite albums?<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill<\/em> (1998) \u2013 Lauryn Hill<br \/>\n<em>Thriller <\/em>(1982) \u2013 Michael Jackson<br \/>\n<em>Dark Sky Island<\/em> (2015) \u2013 Enya<br \/>\n<em>Diamond Life<\/em> (1984) \u2013 Sade<br \/>\n<em>The Soul Sessions<\/em> (2003) \u2013 Joss Stone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us a \u201cpinch me\u201d moment when you thought \u201c<em>Wow, this is really happening to me!<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nMy first concert was at the iconic Union Chapel in London. The brilliant Talvin Singh OBE was performing with me. The venue was completely full and there was a moment where I took a breath and heard the crowd, with people from all different backgrounds and faiths, singing my hymns\u2014it was beautifully humbling. Since then, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to sing at Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square to 20,000 people and I\u2019m about to start recording a new album with the enigmatic Martin \u2018Youth\u2019 Glover. I never imagined Kirtan would bring me these experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best advice someone has given you?<\/strong><br \/>\nKirtan is traditionally sung by males and within Sikh temples. In 2008, when my first Kirtan album came out, it quickly gained notoriety for its unique and fresh sound. I gained a lot of attention\u2014it was around that time that my mother gifted me with some profound words: \u201cCompliments are a badge of honor for the ego. Don\u2019t internalize the praise this fickle world may throw your way.

August 2010\u2014in London, on BBC Radio London. My latest rendition of the \u201cMool Mantra\u201d was on air when a friend called me\u2014screaming!

My manager went to see them play live, as he knows Khan. He gave my album to James. We heard that James liked my music, so we asked him to collaborate on a song for my album <em>Sacred Words<\/em>. Khan has also collaborated on a song in my latest album <em>Ek<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us a little about the \u201cMagic Mantra\u201d video.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe \u201cMool Mantra\u201d (written by Guru Nanak<em>)<\/em> often referred to as the \u201cMagic Mantra\u201d brings endless gifts to the one who can immerse themselves in it. In essence, it is the soul\u2019s deepest longing to become one with divinity. For this video, I felt the need to create something to inspire children during a time of lockdowns and uncertainty. Kirtan can be a beautiful vehicle to journey within. So when I created this album I focused on simple melodies in which I could annunciate the words clearly\u2014in a way that vibrates through the cells of the body. Through soothing melodies accompanied by beautiful instrumentation, I hope to remind us all of just what we truly are\u2014stardust, light, unparalleled, spectacular beauty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20138\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-010.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-010.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Manika-Kaur-010-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did the uniquely creative 2012 video \u201cGuru Ram Das Rakho Sarnaee\u201d evolve?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Guru Ram Das Ji exemplified humility.

In the seven years that he was Guru, before his passing, he penned 5,876 lines of inspirational poetic verse. From composing the music to writing the script and connecting with renowned hand-shadowgrapher Amar Sen, my only aim was to create something exquisite to celebrate the beauty that is Guru Ram Das. Artistically expressed through black and white hand-shadowgraphy, the film was truly loved and shared by celebrities in India. It won Best Short Film at the Sikh Arts and Film Festival in California and led to me establishing my own charity and mission Kirtan for Causes.

My hope is that this turbulent time will take us there. Fear stops us from connecting to our divine essence. Shut off the news and talk with people\u2014talk with your family around the world. Talk with people you know\u2014and get the truth from them. With my faith, I believe life and death are two points in time\u2014and the soul continues onward. That thought is beautiful. It also helps to pray, meditate and be in the moment. It starts inside you. It\u2019s all about perspective. Everything starts in our own mind.
