biographical info
Hap Mandala is the fruition of efforts by songwriter Dan Humphries (known as Hap, in certain circles). Born and raised in the Albertan foothills of the Rocky mountains, Hap moved on to the West Kootenays for a number of years, and now lives on Vancouver Island.
The music offers unique approaches to familiar tones, ..."an organic edge with rural charm. " Inspired by passion, people and patriotism, the songs resonate a Canadian aura about them. `Music is channeled through us, a product of our environments. We hold on to pieces and let others go. It is immeasureably a good thing when we can collectively hum a tune together`.
A mandala is said to be the gateway to your inner being, or soul.
