HOUSE OF THE BELOVED
is a musical remembrance--a bridge between our troubled, tired, raggedy
selves and the sweetest, divine, ecstatic world. Here is music that moves
people in all ways: funky grooves to seduce people off the walls and into
the beat, ballads that break hearts open and turn people towards each
other, ecstatic trance music that sends everyone soaring, timeless
mantras that drop us into the heart of silence and stillness.
Maniko clearly knows the worlds of ecstatic dance, prayer, trance and the
unbearable beauties of love. Her songwriting is pure poetry of words and
music, and her singing moves along the captivating edges of skill and
freedom, power and grace. This album is an invitation into divine
territory. Take the ride.
