Music reviews of Japa

Music Review: Soulful Kirtan
Rating: 4 Stars

New to Stringer's music, I am pleasantly surprised by these soulful chants. Initially the songs struck me as a bit too short(all of them are less than 10 minutes long) so I was inclined to give only a four star rating, but despite their brevity these chants are beautiful---especially the last four. I now wish I had given this recording a five star rating.Because the chants are so short, those new to kirtan may find this recording to be a gentle entry into kirtan.
While I am enjoying all the chants, one stands out for me over and above the rest. It's the final chant, Shanti Om. This is perhaps the most hauntingly beautiful chant I've ever heard. The first time I heard this chant its depth and intensity drew me inward and expanded my awareness, if only for a short time.

Description of Japa

Call-and-response kirtan accented by lap steel, sitar, horns and gypsy violin. 'Mala' (in Sanskrit, a string of beads, used like a rosary, to facillitate concentration on a mantra) has the same intentions as its predecessor, 'Japa', but the melodies and modes it explores reflect a deeper Eastern influence. Produced by Saul David Raye, Dave sings vocal duets, quartets and ensembles with Carri Abrahms, Joni Allen, Liz Burnette, Donna de Lory, Jaik Grace, Sheila Nicholls, Danny Peck, Steve Ross, Shanti Shivani, Mark Smith, Suzanne Sterling, Allie Stringer and C.C. White. The backing band is subtle, concise, intuitive, fluid, funky: Girish Gambhira on tablas, James Harrah on electric guitar, Ian Walker on bass, and Jay Bellerose on drum set.
