Anthar Kharana, is a Colombian composer and multi-instrumentalist living in London - UK since 2003. Anthar has been involved in many musical projects and bands, offering him a wide vision about different ways of putting together sounds and intentions, feelings and thoughts. Starting with rough punk in his early years, to then begin training himself as a counter-tenor (highest male voice’s pitch in opera) afterwards, giving him the ability to increase his voice range and to reach high pitches that sounds like female voice. Khantara is a mixture of his own name. He records all the songs by himself playing a variety of ethnic instruments including winds, strings and percussion from around the world and singing a different range of voices in a small studio he built at his own place in London.
After years of practice he developed natural and deep throat singing voices including Khoomii from Mongolia and other overtone techniques which made an important step whilst working with Vibrational Sound Healing. As part of that process, together with his passion for different ancient cultures, he started to investigate about the power of sound and how it generates changes in many different ways and levels of conciousness. As a result of this exploration, he created KHANTARA and its first album called "Satur".
Namaste Anthar,
thank you for adding me as a friend and for your great music! I'm happy to meet you here... and there on my Space, too.
Your name is a very special one, the anthakarana... I know this word from the theosophic literature (antara means 'between') and Antares (the anti Ares/Mars) as Alpha Scorpii is in the heart position of the zodiac sign Scorpio.
May your work and music be blessed and give salvation to mankind,
Sarvamangalam!
