DEVAS ALBUM FEATURING NATACHA ATLAS
The album DEVAS feat. Natacha Atlas was released on 4th December 2020 worldwide in Digital and Vinyl formats. DEVAS is mixed by the Argentinian producer and sound artist Alejandro Mosso. DEVAS is inspired by the Indian Demigods. India is a country of temples and many deities, which allowed the music of DEVAS to become an urban shamanic ritual.

Human feelings – love and pain – have been immutable since ancient times. In music, they were portrayed as “affects”, with carefully delineated lines between them. These two universal feelings from the past are amongst the most valuable heritage for us. Only with and through these, can we stay close to another.
