Phenomenal blend of musical styles! Nov 24, 2009 I just keep playing this over and over! I listen to a LOT of kirtan music and have heard many musicians in the field attempt to merge western sounds with indian chants. Sometimes the western influence is just a little too much and sometimes it just doesn't seem to fit. But THIS! THIS is amazing! So beautiful and rich and what feels like a perfect blend of true devotion and love of the practice of kirtan while bringing in musical styles the musicians love to play. This is a great weaving of genres as opposed to superimposing one on the other. I highly recommend you buy this CD. It's fun, uplifting, contains great musicianship and harmony, and brings me into a deep connection every time I hear it. Thank you Sean and group!
Just like being there Oct 07, 2009 Heard the band perform most of these songs at Bhakti Fest where they rocked the house. Definitely a highlight of the event. The new CD takes off where their last CD, Calling the Spirits, left off. The music is not only great...these are fine people worth supporting!
Great music for yoga and world music lovers Sep 30, 2009 I have been listening to "yoga music" for about 15 years, and this album is the first that has really grabbed me in a long while, since early Krishna Das. I think it's the combination of sweet devotion coming from Sean's voice, and the amazing musicality of the band (Gwen sings, plays several percussion instruments at one time, Alvin is a virtuoso bass and guitar player who made the jazz circuits in New Orleans for years). I heard them years ago, on their post-Katrina tour, and it was sweet, but this new music just blew me away. It is tight (in a good way), creative, and catchy. AND, for all you yoga teachers, you can actually play it all the way through in an active asana class as it winds down at the end (I especially love the ending part of Asato Ma (Illumination), so sweet to start savasana to). Get this album! See the band in concert! Jai ma!
I LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sep 12, 2009 Wow, that's an ingenious fusion: New Orleans panache, blended into Eastern yogi chanting. I'm buying this now. Awesome!
This album has soul Sep 09, 2009 Devaloka is an amazing album filled with soul. Sean Johnson's voice is heartfelt, soulful and authentic. Gwen and Alvin complete the percussion to make this album rich. This album will round out anyone's collection. It is both energizing and relaxing. Makes you want to sing out and weep out. A must buy.
