Krishangi Lila, originally from Estonia, is a devotional singer, sound artist, voice embodiment coach and healer giving voice workshops, sound baths and concerts in different places worldwide. Besides singing, she accompanies herself on harmonium, bansuri, setar and frame drum. Since 2014 she has been a teacher of harmonium and vocals in Kirtan Course at Bhaktivedanta College, Radhadesh.
She graduated from the Norwegian State Academy of Music in 2000 as a classical singer. For some years after graduating, she performed western medieval music with different music groups as Rondellus and Olde Hansa Musicians in Estonia.
But her musical interest changed after she came in contact with the bhakti yoga tradition and joined the ashram for 12 years, where Sanskrit mantra singing was a daily practice. During this period of her life, she studied bhakti yoga philosophy and graduated from Lampeter University with Bachelor’s Degree in Vaishnava Theology. Her frequent travels to India led her to further research in Nada yoga and studies in Dhrupad music with Gundecha Brothers in Bhopal.
Western medieval vibes, Indian ragas, and nada yoga practices with flavours from shamanic and sufi practices deeply influence her musical compositions. Improvisation, movement and meditation on the sound are three main principles that are the basis of her musical pieces.
As a voice embodiment coach, she focuses on the healing aspect of the voice; how to find your natural voice; how to use the healing potencies of the voice to remove the energetic blockages and tensions from the body; and how to find the full resonance in your body. The voicework practice is based on relaxation, meditation and deep listening.
In 2008, she released her first album, “Divine Love”, with Kalindi dasi. This CD, commissioned by Bhaktivedanta College, was mainly inspired by the Holy texts of the Divine Rasa Dance from the scripture Bhagavata Purana.
A new album called “Lalasa” (“Longing”) was released spring of 2020 by an ethnic fusion project called “Lila”, where Krishangi Lila as a singer, collaborates with Jonathan Kay on esraj and saxophone and Ziya Tabassian on Sufi percussions and Sina Gheisary on ney and oud.
