Way of the Yogi
BHAJE!
The beating heart of Bhaje! is the duo Xanna Seto and Scott Wurtz. The first time they met and played together over 5 years ago it was obvious the musical alchemistry was just right.

Bhaje! comes from the Sanskrit conveying the meaning of ecstatic prayer through song. The songs of Bhaje! remind us that music is the pathway to liberation, that every moment of every day is an offering and a prayer. The music they offer is a sacred mission to guide us in the remembering that we are all perfect expressions of the Divinity inherent within us. Incorporating traditional mantra, classical Indian musical stylings, call and response Kirtans and uplifting folk originals, Bhaje! brings an inspiring and heart opening experience that elicits joy, bliss and connection at every level of being. They have performed at Imagine,  Fluidity Festival, Folklife, Om Culture and yoga retreats and are currently working on their first album.

Xanna Seto's deep roots in folk and rock and roll and her current study and practice of Indian Classical Music and Raaga give her a diverse background from which to draw her musical offerings. She plays tamboura and harmonium, with 20+ years of performance experience and soulful vocals that have a vibrant blend of earthy and ethereal qualities.
She writes the songs that Bhaje! performs, inspired by mythic and Divine  archtypes, the wonder of the natural and super-natural worlds and the many beautiful individuals in her life whom she loves and admires. 



Scott Wurtz 
is an eclectic world music percussionist. Scott's presence and ability to listen deeply to the musical fabric allow for an expansive dialogue and creativity response with fellow musicians. As a practitioner of the Healing Arts, Scott brings heartfelt playfulness to the overall process of creating musical experiences.
