Anubhav
Available on CD/Digitally
“Anubhav” immerses the listener and chant practitioner in deep invocational prayers and upbeat kirtan and bhajan from the Indian tradition. Lush instrumentation of strings and drums from the western world meld with Indian instruments – harmonium, veena, bansuri, tabla, dholak, ghatam, kartals – as well as earthy instruments of Africa and Brazil, the kora and berimbau. When Nina calls, the choir responds in support of this ancient spiritual practice. The album (of course) includes a new rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa but also the new addition of a Buddhist chant. As the melodies pull us deep and lift us to the sky of the heart, the voices of guest artists Krishna Das, MC YOGI, Trevor Hall, and her daughter Uma, bridge the old with the new and Present.
