Blessings - The Joy of Divine Love

Felix Maria Woschek here completes a circle, because after 15 years of spiritual song he is returning to his earlier days as a rhythm-and-blues musician.

Together with the Indian sarangi and singing master Sultan Khan who used to play with George Harrison and the soul-singer Mira Bai Henderson from Los Angeles, he has created a musical fusion linking three continents.

Mira Bai was already as a child touring the length and breadth of the United States with Mahalia Jackson's legendary Gospel Train, and later sang with Tina Turner. The main influences on her were her family and musical environment, which includes such major musicians as Ray Charles, B.B. King, and Alice Coltrane.

The music deals with the joy of divine love, but also with the pain that we often live this love so little. From Gregorian chant to Baptist Church Gospel, from Indian singing to My Sweet Lord (George Harrison), we make our way lightly through many different cultures and religions.


Blessings...
only happen to those, that are real

Blessings...
come daily to make us feel
with our hearts, not our hands
not for you, but your fellowman
those thoughts that make men free

Blessings of love we all transpire
blessings of good come from high
seek, you must keep
all of that, which is sweet
and remember, remember those blessings

Blessings of time linger
blessings of thruth remember me
trust and understand
life is not in your hands
and remember, remember God's blessings.
