She will be in town to offer a kirtan (participatory chant) and concert on Sunday, July 24. Come sing with her at the Church of Truth!
Here's the info she sent in…
Come celebrate in the heart-opening, grooving chant and the energy and beauty of summer with Global Vocalist Gina Salá with Niel Golden on tabla.
Gina Salá offers up a swirling set of kirtan (participatory chant and mantra from a few traditions), song and story with warmth, humor and devotion. The mind rests like a bee in a poppy, and the body unwinds in the swirl of mantra and rhythm. Gina will be joined by a wonderful band including Niel Golden on tabla and percussion

Tickets:
Kirtan $20 in advance, $25 at the door
