Monica Shaka - Monica Shaka (feat. Tony Scott) (2010)

Music has always been part of my life. Growing up to the sounds of my fathers clarinet, piano and concerts, I can say that part of me expresses itself through song. After years of making music the focal point of my life, I realised it was meant to remain a passion and a means of expression for me. Mantras and chanting are a perfect way to combine my musical world with spirituality and give free expression to my soul through the vocal channel whilst connecting not only to my history, but also to the history of the mantras that carry thousands of years of positive vibrations.

Here are the songs I grew up with, that touched me and became part of me. Recorded with my late father just before his passing, this is a personal project that encompasses my connection to Jazz.
