Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Enfluence Group) Co-headlined by singer/songwriter/producer/instrumentalist Tina Malia and world devotional visionary/guitarist GuruGanesha Singh, the first leg of the "Song of the Soul" World Tour kicks off April 15, 2011, in Sacramento, CA. Performing a diverse collection of music that spans the globe - from Kirtan to pop and raga to rock, the soulful evening promises to offer something for everyone.

Tina Malia's magical voice and profound gifts as a music maker have enabled her to span a multitude of musical genres, from devotional mantras to pop to electronic. Malia's vast body of work includes her own exquisite albums, as well as performances with artists such as Jai Uttal, Carlos Santana, India.Arie, Kenny Loggins, and Bassnectar. GuruGanesha, perhaps best known for his supple, crystalline guitar work with bhakti superstar Snatam Kaur, is the founder of Spirit Voyage Records and a solo artist with a beguiling back catalog of albums and a new CD slated for May.
"For two hours we have no labels or boundaries; we're simply a community of souls gathered in a safe oasis of love and humanity," said Malia. "Right now in this world we all could use a little hope. But, for us it's not enough to just remind people about hope; we want to create an environment in which people can hear it, see it and experience it from the inside out whether it's through one show, one song or one note. 'Song of the Soul' is about reigniting hope."
"There's an incredible alchemy at work here that you can't question, you just have to experience it," said GuruGanesha. "Musically, we'll be going places where artists in this genre don't usually go, which makes it so accessible to anyone - great music becomes the connector."
Acting as catalysts for the divine chemistry of Malia and GuruGanesha are multi-instrumentalist Hans Christian (Rasa, Krishna Das, Robbie Robertson, Jai Uttal, Vas), percussionist/remix master Craig Kohland (Shaman's Dream, Down Temple Dub, Donna DeLory) and fast rising young bassist Jared May. Given the virtuosity and rich musical history of each band member, this will be a world devotional music super group.
"There's a whole side of Tina Malia that people haven't heard and this tour that brings out," says GuruGanesha.
"When he starts playing his electric guitar the entire place becomes electrified," adds Malia. "People are going to dance during this show, we promise you that!"
