Soulful music from the ancient tradition of Kirtan.
This is a beautiful composition of modern beats, harmonies, and music combined with traditional ancient mantras, chants and bhajans. Most of the songs are sung by Sura. Being from Chicago, he has a raspy blues singer voice and played and sang the blues in coffee houses in his college days. In a few of the songs such as Rake Krisna you can hear that Chicago tradition. The lovely Mahalaxmi sings sweet pure innocents on Hallowed Be Thy Names and on Khoda Nitai contrast Sura's mood. The amazing Christo and Adwaita play percussion, which slowly brings the chanting to its crescendo. Eddie Young plays the bass and cello, while Marty is the master of sitar. Several men and women make up the background and harmony vocals to make this CD soulful, mellow and timeless.
