Harida
Born in Chile in 1949, Harida studied classical drums and percussion at the conservatories of Santiago and Rome before co-creating Mirasol Colores, one of Spain’s leading avant-garde and Latin fusion projects of the 1970s.
Inspired by Eastern mythology and music, he travelled to India in 1977, where he spent several years immersed in meditation and the study of Indian classical music, learning both santoor and tabla.
Living in Osho’s community in Poona and playing music for meditations in His presence transformed Harida’s understanding of sound. He discovered music as a vehicle for silence, awareness and healing — powerful rhythms carrying stillness within them, inviting presence and a deeper connection to one’s inner being.
For more than 50 years, his passion for music and the joy of connecting through rhythm have guided his work. In 1995, he co-founded Nazca Music in the Netherlands, recording more than 30 albums, both his own and those of other artists. Since moving to Portugal in 1999, he has continued recording, performing and organising meditation retreats, as well as the annual Osho Festival of Music and Meditation at his home, Pomar da Serra, in the Alentejo.

He has worked from Primal to Shamanism, Holistic Massage to Emotional Expression, Bioenergetics to Sufism. He is a Sannyasin deeply touched by Osho’s Active Meditations and Tantra practice.

A lifelong student of the sacred arts, having immersed herself in the transformative practices of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and Tantra for over 25 years. With a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, she has evolved into a passionate advocate for self-discovery, sensuality, and radical self-love.

Through her projects @ecstaticdancelisboa and @ecstaticdancesintra, she created a vibrant community where music is the sacred ground for expression and celebration. In her DJ sets, she shares a vision of life that pulses between breath, rhythm, introspection, and pure joy.
Shankari & Sebastian
Shankari discovered her voice through the practice of singing bhajans. What began as a path of devotion and self-discovery, has blossomed into a heartfelt offering to others — an invitation to go beyond the mind and return to the expansion of the heart. Through the sharing of Kirtan, Shankari creates a space for connection, supporting others in opening their voices and reconnecting to their inner essence. Her circles are rooted in the understanding that singing is not about performance, but about presence: a doorway into expansion, joy, love and harmony.
Each gathering is a sacred, shared journey.
Sebastian’s path with music began early, with classical guitar becoming a steady companion from the age of six. Although singing was something he always loved, it wasn’t until his thirties — through an encounter with devotional music in an ashram — that his voice fully came alive again. Today, singing is both a personal practice and a shared offering. Through kirtan, Sebastian experiences a sense of freedom, presence, and connection beyond the thinking mind. For the past six years, he has been holding singing circles in Scandinavia and Portugal, sharing the joy, love and magic that arise when voices come together in community.
