Playing on five of the album’s tracks is World Music multi-instrumentalist Boris Sichon. In April of 2007, EMAR released a 4-song EP entitled EMAR- World Music containing tracks Sutra, Jamil, Tumare Darshan and Salaam; also available on newly released EMAR: Sacred Soul. Born in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia, now Serbia, EMAR, along with her family, moved to Toronto, Canada, shortly after her birth. EMAR lived in Canada for six years and then returned to Belgrade for almost a decade. In 1989, just before the country’s collapse, young EMAR returned to Canada for good. In 1999 EMAR moved to the west coast of Canada, where she discovered her artistic self and gained insight into her innate spirituality. In 2004, upon returning to Toronto, using her own initials she adopted the name EMAR, which conjures an image of the same mystic, eastern culture that is reflected in her music. EMAR\'s mission is to awaken \"we are all one\" consciousness in our world, through music & spirituality by embracing all religions and nations as one. Before using the name EMAR, she released the debut album Embrace Yourself in 2003 under her given name of Melissa Rebronja, which included the radio single and BRAVO TV video Beautiful, her own haunting rendition of Wonderwall which became a popular download on iTunes, as well as the well-reviewed Serbian-sung tracks Duso Moja and Zasto.
