Sat Kartar

Sat Kartar Khalsa has been teaching , recording, and performing chant and devotional kirtan (music sung in call and response style) for over 30 years. Her personal journey with these potent spiritual tools was initiated in 1971 when she stumbled upon Kundalini Yoga and Sikhism, and became a student of her spiritual teacher, Yogi Bhajan. Sat Kartar's ongoing quest for spiritual musical expression, in the ‘90s, teamed her with Hare Krishna based techno musician-producers Akinchina Das and Lalita Dasi, and Sat Kartar had the opportunity to chant and improvise free form, over the electronica groove of the international dance music scene. “It was my first intro to the experience of Bhakti Hindu kirtan.” While she resided in Los Angeles, the chant music genre was rapidly growing through several touring bhaki kirtan artists, and she sang on more kirtan albums by Krishna Das and Wah!, and began leading chant herself, in yoga centers in Los Angeles, in 2001. That year, Sat Kartar returned to Phoenix, AZ, formed her band, Sat Kartar & Friends, and began touring the Southwest U. S., playing conferences, book stores, yoga centers, churches, and other venues, in support of her chant CD, Daily Practice and garnered a regional following. She became involved in the Arizona Interfaith Movement, which further diversified her performance range with televised interfaith events, performing the Star Spangled Banner at an AZ DiamondBacks baseball game, to multi-faith chanting at a planning conference in Spain, for the World Parliament of Religions gathering. With her new CD FLOW, plans are underway for a worldwide tour, retreats, sound and yoga workshops, a new product line, and much more.
