'Tulku is one of the first musicians who, with talent and sensitivity, knew how to marry the global beat and the spirit.' - CLAUDE CHALLE, FRENCH DJ
The word Tulku means the emergence of an old soul into a new body. Drawing upon the musical indigenous traditions of India, Persia, Egypt, Australia, and the Americas, Tulku explores ancient global rhythms emerging in the new body of today's music. This astonishing and innovative album features an international ensemble of talented artists, including Jai Uttal and Krishna Das. Includes mpeg video.
Producer of Tulku, critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated producer, composer and instrumentalist Jim Wilson is a pioneer in the world music genre. He is the most successful producer of New Native music worldwide and is best known for his productions like 'Walela' with Rita Coolidge and 'Contact' from the 'Underworld of the Redboy' with Robbie Robertson. Recently his music has been featured in major motion picture soundtracks including 'Bedazzled' and Oliver Stone's 'Any Given Sunday.'
Jim Wilson is the mastermind behind Tulku. As the 'group's' writer and producer (and sometimes keyboardist, programmer, and guitarist), Wilson seeks out a wide range of musicians who share his affinity for musical exploration.
