Aramaeus: who are we?

Colleen and Kamal met while recording her first CD, called Sweet Indulgence. A collection of original songs performed by her band Ionnah, also available on this site. They delight in the natural harmony of sound that opens and enlivens, creating music that embodies vibrant living prayers and finding creative ways to express in music the wondrous life that pulses all around.

Colleen's inspiration came from the love of creating heart-felt music, the melodic rich tonnes of the Aramaic language and the deep meaning of the words. She had found a creative way to express her internal spiritual reality and feeling. Together with Kamal's insight and experience in the world music genre they have created truly beautiful devotional CDs.

Kamal has a recording studio set in the beautiful mountains above Byron Bay in Australia and is an accomplished professional musician. Impressed by his vision and talent Colleen began working with Kamal and a year later they released Aramaeus: The Prayer. This CD is comprised of a version of the Lords Prayer in Aramaic put to music, an extended meditation piece and a guided meditation to support the exploration of the prayer from a feminine perspective. They also released Loves Breath, an inspirational guided breath meditation and chant CD.
