Music reviews of Yoga
Music Review: Sonic Nirvana
Rating: 5 Stars
Putumayo's "Yoga" is one of the world music label's best compilations yet. It perfectly suits yoga, meditation, Pilates. It's incredibly serene, like a cup of jasmine tea. The music is deeply thoughtful, drawing on Hindu, Buddhist, and African traditions.
"Yoga" opens with the Lucknow Project's peaceful "Ghungate Ke." Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band from New Orleans have the jazzy "Om Hari Om." Susheela Raman's "O Rama" as well as Ablaye Cissoko&Volker Goetze's "Sira" blend African with Indian music. There are meditative instrumentals such as Ben Leinbach&Geoffrey Gordon's "Cerulean" and Amounsulu's "El Bosque Eternal de los Ninos",a tribute to a Costa Rican rainforest preserve. Amounsoulu makes a flavorful blend of Latin and Indian music. Wah! sings a powerful ode to Rama. Karnamrita Dasi, who grew up in an American ashram, sings an ode to Krishna's human mother, Devaki. Krishna Das, one of the premier American singers of Hindu kirtans (devotional songs) has a remix of his ode to Hanuman, the monkey god (Heart As Wide As The World,Live on Earth) "Offering Chant" is a unique collaboration between blind pianist Jean-Philippe Rykiel and Tibetan Buddhist Lama Gyurme. It sounds like an Anglican hymn. One can imagine it being sung in some proper Episcopal church. It's a Tibetan Buddhist chant with a Western classical sensibility. The closing song, "Bliss", is a cosmic meditation from Swedish singer Yogini.
"Yoga" is a perfect blend of East meets West. It's incredibly peaceful; music DOES have the power to quiet the mind. Niraj Chag and Susheela Raman also appear on Putumayo's India. This album also goes well with Putumayo Presents: Asian Lounge and Music From the Tea Lands. This music is sonic nirvana!
Description of Yoga
To be released on September 14th, Yoga is Putumayo's first CD release featuring songs selected to accompany yoga practice and serve as a relaxing soundtrack for daily life. Rooted in ancient Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions, the practice of yoga has evolved over the past 5,000 years. Adopted by millions of people around the world, yoga provides a vehicle for greater health and spiritual awareness. Music has long had a close relationship with yoga, particularly in the Bhakti tradition, which incorporates musical chants into its practice. Yoga features renowned musicians from around the world. British-born, South Indian artist Susheela Raman duets with Kenyan singer Ayub Ogada on the harmonious "O Rama." Krishna Das, who is the best-known US performer of traditional Indian kirtan-style music, demonstrates call-and-response chanting on "Hanuman Baba (Dub Farm Remix)." Costa Rican group Amounsulu create a serene atmosphere by blending sitars and glass bottles on the song "El Bosque Eterno de los Niños (Children's Eternal Rainforest)." On "Bolo Ram" celebrated western devotional musician Wah! sings a tranquil verse that is believed to bring bliss to all who chant it. Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band are known for their beautiful, melodic chanting as displayed on "Om Hari Om/Sharanam Ganesha (Refuge)." Yoga also features the collaborative world fusion group The Lucknow Project, US kirtan artist Gaura Vani And As Kindred Spirits, renowned producer/musician Ben Leinbach and percussionist Geoffrey Gordon, bhajan and kirtan singer Karnamrita Dasi and British producer Niraj Chag. Rounding out this eclectic collection are Swedish musician and teacher Yogini, Senegalese singer Ablaye Cissoko with German trumpeter Volker Goetze, husband and wife duo Shantala and Bhutanese monk Lama Gyurme with French pianist Jean-Philippe Rykiel.International CDs
