NARAYANI

With passionate melodies and angelic harmonies, the combined musical experience and influences of Laura Kemp and Luna Marcus bring a unique element to modern day devotional music and kirtan. Trading off with the lead (call), they back each other on harmonium, guitar, and vocal harmonies. Their fresh interpretations of tradional bhajans as well as their original chants are sung primarily in Sanskrit and performed in a classic call and response style.

With 25 years of performing, writing, and recording experience, Laura’s musical influences range from folk to bluegrass to jazz. She has played guitar for 40 years and has released 6 recordings of mostly original music, with a jazz standards recording due out at the end of 2015. Luna has sung backup/harmony vocals for numerous kirtan artists over the past 10 years, including Jaya Lakshmi, Benji and Heather Wertheimer (Shantala), and Peia.  She is also a successful business woman and the co-founder of Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss. Sharing a deep commitment to and passion for yoga, they have both completed 200 hour yoga teacher trainings and contiune their personal explorations of tantra, advaita vedanta, and sanskrit.
