About me:



Khantara's new line up brings the stunning richness and power of Colombian Roots mixed with Arabic and Gypsy influences.

Lead by Colombian Multi-instrumentalist and composer Anthar Kharana who has mastered different vocal techniques developing a wide range of expression sounding sometimes as mellow as a female voice but also as deep as mongolian throat singing.

Anthar's new five piece band uses Traditional Colombian sounds of Gaitas and ‘Tambores’, or drums, with Bouzouki, cajon and Traverse flute.

Enjoy the rhythms and powerful soundscapes that will transport you to a land of joy and moves but keeping a sacred connection to the ancient Colombian wisdom.

    In the magicalities of a could,

    Between the  probabilities of a would,

    Beyond the trivialities of a should,

    In these ungraspable  mysticalities

    There lies a secret a passage…

    To this extraordinary wood.

     

    But for you, it unfolds easily and true

    And the only thing you have to do

    Is press play, and you’ll have a view.

    Let us present a little comment,
    That in this very particular moment,
    Presents happiness for lack of rejection
    That turned into invisible connection
    Of ThiSpace and ThaTime friends
    One so sturdy, that it never ends,
    And a little video it sends...

    perdon el comentario venia de Nadja no de Koguiwa... (borra el del grupo ;) )
     No se puede evitar el ojo aguado, escuchando la musica que nacia mientras hacia mi ritual de cocina en los dias de angel, o viendolas en mi mente como escenas de una fantasia oriental sentada en el blanco sofa... mientras les dabas vida... aun tengo esas historia en mi cabeza si algun dia imagenes las quieres volver, tengo muy buenas ideas latentes de las memorias que las melodias produjeron xx

    That was a very good decision :))
    The edges of the bath despaired...I was able to swim free and this is what I came back with :)

    Full of hope
    Full of yearning
    Full of love
    But not burning.

    My tears come from the spring
    All the way up
    up upon that mountain hill.
    My smile comes from deep within
    deep down from that ocean floor.
    And my sigh comes from joy
    The joy of knowing your love

    Full of hope
    Full of yearning
    Full of love
    But not burning

    I say on to thee
    What a wondrous dream
    Thy have always been
    And May Thy Beauty
    Never seize to touch & inspire me.
    As I will never seize to Forever Thank Thee!

    Love to All n All!!
