The Friday live at Five FaceBook concerts have been tremendous fun and it has been great pulling out old songs, dusting them off and sharing them along with the stories that inspired them.

The “Sat Narayan” mantra, played outside on a sunny afternoon, just me and my guitar, put to water images of scenes taken during travels through the Bay Area, greater Lake Tahoe Area, Crater Lake, Maine and Baja.
This mantra brings peace. Enjoy. Blessings. and Waheguru!
I had so much fun with the first one, I decided to do it again the next week…
The “crush songs”:
Kehelanis Three
“For You”
“Kiss Down Noriega”
“Summer Wine” (cover)
On May 4th, 2020, Japa was the featured artist on the program, “Miracle Mantra”, a half hour radio show based out of Milwaukee, WI. What a blast! Super fun. The live radio broadcast included her version of the “Adi Shakti Mantra”, the “Sat Narayan” mantra for peace, and a special accordion tribute to Guru Ram Das.
Check it out on the Riverwest Radio Website…episode #82.
…and super fun. I had a blast. It seemed like the people watching did, too. Hits of the day included “It’s all God”, “The Hopi Prophecy”, “Barco do Paz” and a little Grateful Dead/mantra mash up, “Ek Ong Ripple”.
Super stoked for the next one, Friday, May 8 at 5pm MST. Hop on the Japa Kaur Facebook Page to catch the live action.
Due to current world conditions, live events have been suspended and gatherings have been cancelled. Ironically, due to this strange and unexpected turn of events, I’ve suddenly become busier than ever with requests for engagements.
