Post Description

Sophia is a "songhealer" who has been making music for over 20 years. From her earliest love songs and uplifting originals to her deeper healing sounds, such as "Hidden Waters, Sacred Ground," to recent tribal releases like "Return," she has evolved and grown artistically to meet the changing times. With her long-awaited new CD, she delves into true healing journeys with this treatment on the chacras through a river of sacred sound. Serene vocal tones surround the ancient chants from the inside out, to soothe and purify the body's energy centers. She has the gift to make foreign sounds friendly, to bring the ancient wisdom into intimate settings, and to offer these gifts in soothing, serene, and uplifting ways. Sophia attracted some major musicians to support her vision on this beautiful new CD: David Gordon, Hans Christian, Raphael, Schawkie Roth, Girish Gambhira, Gary Stadler, Wayne Perry, Kim Waters and others all lend their expertise and shared vision to these planetary! emanations."
Internationally acclaimed recording artist, Sophia Roberts prefers to just be called Sophia, but she is also known as Sophia Songhealer, because her music is healing and uplifting. An inspired virtuoso she also plays her own zither, tamboura, percussion, dulcimer and guitar, which accompany her "voice of gold, full of power and love".

This recording has been widely used for massage, meditation, relaxation, rituals and tantra. Each side is an extended piece, beginning with SACRED GROUND's heartbeat pulse which carries us from the birthing chant of Sweet Surrender, through a sensual, enchanting Bengali bhajan (East Indian devotional chant), the powerful Native American (Lakota) chant, The Earth is Our Mother. These three prayers culminate in a fugue which intertwines then all, bridging East and West and creating a temple of sacred sound. HIDDEN WATERS is a flowing, moving meditation of wind and water, with zither, lyrical bamboo flute and Sophia's serene vocalist. This simple yet profound recording features the keyboard artistry and depth of Raphael, whose passion, rhythm, and subtlety match Sophia's own.
