Akasha

Akasha returns with this follow-up to their acclaimed Yoga Spirit. Their innovative blend of traditional, contemporary and East/West styles, is rooted in their feel for ancient Sanskrit chant and the latest in modern grooves. Bamboo flute and violin interweave with slide guitar and mantra singing to produce a heartful, light yet grounded sound, perfect to support a wide range of yoga practices. A must for any lover of Sacred Chants.

Akasha is an international musical collaboration reflecting a new era in the way music is being created: the musicians that are part of this group use the internet as their meeting place. Musical ideas are exchanged back and forth in cyberspace until the desired result is achieved. Singers from the UK (Tanmayo), Israel (Gerhard Fankhauser) and New Zealand (Kiri Iriwata) exchange ideas online with instrumentalists from India (Bikram Singh on flute, Avinash Jagtap on violin) and composer/ producer Chinmaya Dunster. All share a deep commitment to meditation and Eastern philosophy. Their love for the ancient spiritual chants of India has lead to Yoga Spirit, a harmonic blend of East and West, acoustic and electronic instruments, created to support yoga practice.
