AKASHA
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.
DISCOGRAPHY
Yoga means union. Yoga Spirit is a musical invitation to merge with the divine harmony of existence. Akasha's drums and soft grooves will support your yoga practice by connecting you to the sacred Earth, while soaring Sanskrit chants, bamboo flute and Indian violin will help you to reach high into the inner sky.
"...this time I would like to mention the CD Yoga Spirit. It has been a long time that I was inspired like I was by this one. This CD is unique, authentic, and uplifting. Every time I listen to it it makes my heart dance. I love teaching with it and listening to it for pleasure. How rare it is to find such unique music in this time of new age nonsense. Bravo!
