Reviews:
'David Newman's Lotus Feet: A Kirtan Revolution is awesome! David 'Durga Das' channels his love energy into sound... Once David starts chanting Sita Ram it's all over; the heart opens, the soul finds bliss.' - Yoga Chicago: Reviewed by Debi Winston Buzil
'In addition to the Mantra, David has written his own lyrics that help the uninitiated listener identify the living quality of these Mantras, giving them a reference that is very personal, yet universal in appeal. These very revealing and, at times, intimate words that draw us into the song are what make this CD different from all the other well-produced Mantra CDs I've heard.' - Enlightened Practice Magazine: Reviewed by Richard Brookens
'David Newman…has blessed our ground with bhajans many times and his devotion to his guru Sri Neem Karoli Baba (Maharajji) has been an inspiration to Bhakti devotees for many years. On Lotus Feet... he succeeds in creating a very sweet, honest and skillful production. His tracks are nicely produced and the instrumentations are very simple and authentic. Newman's strengths lie in his ear for melody and his abilities as a musician.' - La Yoga Magazine: Reviewed by Michael R. Mollura
Description:
Lotus Feet: A Kirtan Revolution was born out of a vision to express the healing power of Indian devotional chanting, known as Kirtan, in a contemporary western musical context. The goal was to both respect the chanting tradition while staying true to the sensibilities of the western singer songwriter idiom.
On Lotus Feet, ancient chants are rich with catchy hooks, evocative melodies, and passionate chord changes. Pop song structures are laced with Sanskrit mantras accented by English lyrics. Acoustic guitars are propelled by world rhythms, hip hop loops, dance grooves and ambient textures. The mantras are the message and the music the messenger. The chants embody a universal language of peace and love while the musical presentation strikes a familiar chord in the western ear and psyche.
Lotus Feet: A Kirtan Revolution offers a gift from the heart of the east on the wings of the west straight to you, the listener, as cosmic sonic nourishment for the Body and Soul.
