DONNA DELORY: FROM MADONNA TO MANTRAS Donna DeLory has been singing professionally since she was
8 years old. She has several solo albums out, although she's
best known as a back-up singer for Madonna and has been in the
choruses of Madonna songs since the mid 1980s. On her own, DeLory
tends towards more mystical fare on CDs like IN THE GLOW and BLISS
(Secret Road Records). Her new CD, THE LOVER AND THE BELOVED (Ajna
Music) takes her on a Mantric journey, singing chants in sanskrit
in elaborately produced arrangements that recall Rasa. In her
Los Angeles home, in the midst of rehearsing for Madonna's summer
tour, Donna DeLory talks about her mystic music.
