MAMAS OF PEARL is a musical duo consisting of the two songwriters and solo artists Veronika Stalder from Switzerland & Annette Odimer from Norway/Denmark. The bedrock of MAMAS of PEARL’s musical collaboration is the symbiosis of music, nature and healing. Their musical universe is strongly inspired by nature and our right to be free and sovereign human beings. Singing to and from the earth, air, water, fire, our hearts and the universe, their songs always seek that place where everything falls into place. Alongside their resonant voices, MAMAS OF PEARL’s instrumentation consists of guitar, shamanic drum and violin. The concerts of MAMAS OF PEARL can have a ceremonial frame and are a mix of concert and singing together with the audience. The repertoire consists of both personal songs -that tell stories from the two songwriters' lives and experiences, as well as “we” songs that have been composed for their song circles. The intention with the “we” songs is to sing each other home and create a meditative healing space where the singing becomes prayers, blessings, praises and expressions of gratitude. The name MAMAS OF PEARL, is inspired by mother of pearl, which is the name of the substance inside a shell that is said to be the belly of the pearl, protecting it from outside pollutants and parasites. MAMAS OF PEARL‘s vision is to be like the mother of pearl of both their musical co-creation and their audience; to create a beautiful protective and musical space where healing and heart expansion can take place.
ABOUT ANNETTE AND VERONIKA
Veronika Stalder and Annette Odimer met for the first time in Spain at the International Education in Vocal Sound Therapy by Githa Ben David, where they found in each other a soul mate to bring together both their gifts for healing and harmonizing through their voices. As well as being part of various musical projects, Veronika and Annette are also the founders of their own individual bands; Veronikas’ Ndiigo & Annette Odimer -Love Your Way, where they each have released several albums and singles with their own songs for which both have earned critical acclaim. Veronika has won the Russian World Music Award in 2016 with the Authentic Light Orchestra, and has sung a duet with Serj Tarkian for the movie “The Promise” (Terry George). Moreover, both songwriters are vocal sound healers and experienced facilitators of voice healing workshops, song circles and have each composed many ceremonial songs. Veronika has published two CDs with a song book of healing songs for the sacred feminine with the group Moia-voices. Annette is a certified sound healer from Githa ben David’s International Education in Vocal Sound Therapy, has received voice education from Roy Hart in France, and is also educated as an actor. Water -this sacred and mysterious elixir that transcends the physical realm is a fascination for both singers. Water is a mother to them, the great mother of life. Water has a special place in their music and is a constant inspiration and source of songs. Their great passion is also to facilitate singing spaces where people gather to get closer to our truth and sense of oneness.
