In a world of oppression and despair,
The Goddess of Music stands tall and fair.
Her voice, a melody of defiance,
A song of dignity.

She sings with power and grace,
Despite the material poverty she faces,
Her spirit remains strong in all spaces.

The notes that flow from her lips,
Carry a message that forever grips.
For artists will always find a way,
To rise above the darkness and decay.

Through the power of sound,
Their souls will forever be unbound.
In a world of intolerance and greed,
The music will be all they'll need.

So listen closely to her song,
And know that you too belong.
To the tribe of musical souls,
Who find strength in their roles.

In the realm of music, a voice like thunder,
Carrying melodies that rend hearts asunder.
Carolyn Joy, the powerful soprano queen,
Brings beauty to the track in every note.

Her operatic note soaring high, without flaw.
But beneath the power, a vulnerability lies,
A voice that can evoke both joy and cries.

Compassion guides her in all that she does,
Pouring out her heart without any pause.

Through the highs and lows, the joy and sorrow,
Carolyn Joy sings for a better tomorrow.
In her voice, we find solace and release,
A beauty that transcends mere peace.

Modern economic  systems    

trap us into believing that  

happiness is never in the now  

but, always somewhere  

far, far away in the future!  

 

 

They create hallucinations, 

make false declarations , 

create fake narrations, 

and lead us  

to needless temptation!

They hijack our ‘bliss’    

and displace us from the present moment!  

  

They make us into robots  

to move along their dots! 

 

So we’re   basically designed to obey  

to stay on their programmed pathways! 

This is a song of defiance, sung by the Goddess of Music herself, an opera singer, who shows us that artists will eventually win spiritually, even if they are materially poor, because they have the power of Sound.

 

Despite the oppression and inequity outside, the lack of dignity and basic needs afforded to artists, by the political economy outside, the singer maintains  deep sense of dignity, and while not reacting emotionally to the injustice, presents the power of music – tenderness, happiness and joy, and feelings that the musical tribespeople  have in common, which the other participants of a materialist political economy (especially a class of people who spend time measuring this and that and collecting things) may not have.

You cannot silence, 

silence our song.  

 

  

You cannot silence, 

silence our song.  

 

  

You cannot silence,  

silence our scales. 

  

Major or minor 

we’ll entwine Her

  

  

Diminished or augmented 

we won’t be tormented.   

  

You cannot silence 

our peaceful non violence.

  

  

  

  

You cannot silence  

silence our  song. 

  

 

You cannot displace 

our perfect grace. 

  

  

You cannot darken 

our shining consciousness. 

 

 

You cannot silence 

our bliss science. 

  

 

You cannot silence 

silence our song. 

 

 

You cannot displace 

our perfect grace.

The Mahamaya Experience presents the most vibrant, rhythmically energetic, melodically  intricate and hope-filled music flowing out of South and South East Asia.

The term Mahamaya stands for one being steeped in illusion, and in falsely believing that the only means to happiness is through an ego based domination of others.

 

Mahamaya's songs asks us all to visualize an alternative  world which is not driven only by 'ego‘ based technology and 'phallic' innovation. We have all seen that technology driven societies have imposed their values on many cultures in the world which has already been rooted in advanced, sophisticated worldviews centered in ecological awareness, positive psychological well being, self control, non-violence and compassion for all! 

The journey to 'non-ego' is not dispassionately passionless, nor musically uneventful.  Mahamaya's music presents some of the most melodically complex works showing complete passionate engagement with the celebration of life's intoxicating illusions, and these intricate melodic motifs and layering builds up and lead the apex of what's possible in celebrating life's passions, and the insatiable pursuit of beauty. But like all forms of crescendos, finally the artist needs to be  ready to simply 'walk way', and get back to the world of non -ego!

Mahamaya Experience teams up with Ranjit Makkuni, and Sitar to unveil a splendid musical journey named “Mahamaya Panorama- Demo Reel”.

We will end the week on a joyful and perfect note thanks to that surprising and unworldly musical experience. In a world where music is made with machines and tasteless signatures, Mahamaya Experience has created a whole world effortlessly combining Indian sonorities, with futuristic soundscapes.

It is difficult to describe their music with conventional words as they create with several genres, from pop to rock, passing by some subtle RNB sonorities, and team up with the best vocal performer to offer an unexpected sonic world. It gives you hope, joy, peace and love.

We dive into a mystical, healing and addictive journey, far from what we are used to, with emotions, sincerity and creativity. More than a specific genre, Mahamaya Panorama- Demo Reel is the definition of Art.

This platform serves as a comprehensive resource for those seeking to engage with Mahamaya's essence through a diverse collection of albums, artistic interpretations, and insightful reflections.
