Many chant artists have explored the concept of "East meets West." JAYA BHAGAVAN, from singers Tina Malia and Shimshai, takes that concept a step further, incorporating not just east and west, but pretty much everything in between. A very acoustic folk sounding album with influences as diverse as Celtic, African, Middle Eastern and Asian, the album does a great job of pairing multi-cultural instrumentation with devotional mantras and making them sound like a natural fit. Each track features the harmonious singing of both Malia and Shimshai, whose vocal interplay is warm and enjoyable. Also included are special guests Jai Uttal, Omar Faruk Tekbilek and a host of other skilled musicians. |
