INSPIRING & HEALING with music
In times of rush and fast-paced art, inspiritana brings a magical breeze with music so ethereal and unique, refreshing and soothing, yet powerful and deeply moving.
The music of inspiritana is not a performance for applause, but a gentle invitation: to step out of distraction, into the Here and Now.
Cale Alit founded inspiritana in 2019, initially as a solo music project, and over the years has continuously collaborated with various musicians and sound healers from around the world. With countless festival appearances, over 100 concerts, and dozens of singing circles, inspiritana is now known well beyond Germany—as far as India and Mexico.
Due to Cale's nomadic lifestyle, the lineup of inspiritana constantly evolves. Today, inspiritana is rounded out by Cale's partner and vocalist Anaïs Sauvage, who brings the yin to the yang. Additionally, multi-instrumentalist Manuel 'Elro' Martin and violinist Lisa 'Chandani' Heidenreich support inspiritana during major album productions and festival performances across Europe.
Whether as a solo appearance or a band performance with impressive guest musicians: the music of inspiritana is always unique—something truly special for every audience.

He utilises the broad spectrum of playing dynamics, building beautiful melodic patterns and flowing from one theme to the next.
