“It was really like I was just helping [Madonna] carry out her vision, as my musicians around me are [now] helping me carry out mine,” Donna De Lory told MauiTime last year, of her nearly 20 years touring and performing in Material Girl’s inner circle. “Being away from that — because I was really in her world and her vision — I can really build my own [vision] and the people I want around me to help me carry that out… I woke up to something deeper inside myself; a deeper kind of music, things I wanted to talk about, the way I wanted to feel.” Seeing as we’ve had a year to digest that, let’s here-on-out let that be the last mention of ‘Madge,’ and forevermore focus on Donna’s personal vision — who returns to the Valley Isle for a hana hou at The Studio (Friday) along with her MACC debut (Thursday). Dance and song have always been a part of Donna’s life (who oft even incorporates sing-song riffs even in her casual, candid anecdotes), and blends “North African grooves, meditative melodies, and Sanskrit mantras (throughout her) psychedelic arrangements.” She’s a conscious-living advocate who believes in “following your bliss,” and you can blissfully follow her during two special concert nights. donnadelory.com / MACC: mauiarts.org; 808-242-7469 / The Studio: thestudiomaui.com; 808-575-9390
So, I was trying to think of rhymes for titling this Pick, and I thought of a line in that awesome David Bowie song, “Memory of a Free Festival” (which, BTW, I’d kill to hear Ween cover of); but, as it happens, is instead “Satoria,” not “satori” — though the definition of the latter turns out to work nicely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satori
