Mandala

Bikram Singh (Bansuri flute) and Manish Vyas (tabla and Santoor), two of today's most brilliant emerging performers of Indian classical music, have harmonized their musical talents to form the group Mandala.

Bikram Singh, skilled with a solid technical foundation of classical Bansuri flute, effortlessly weaves grace and fluidity with articulate precision. He has infused his own unique style with the varied influences of many different teachers and his loving and gentle presence that the listener is always touched and inspired by.

Manish Vyas (Santoor, Tabla) started in his early childhood to study Indian classical music as a tabla player under the late tabla Maestro Ustad Ala Rakha. After beautifully mastering this instrument he started learning santoor, vocals as well as a variety of western musical instruments. His musical expertise and sensitivity has been playing a critical role in many of Prem Joshua's albums such as Dance of Shakti. The two have co-produced the album Water Down the Ganges. Manish is also the author of 6 albums of his own with the Indian label Oorja Music.

Healing Ragas III
by Manish Vyas • MB5113

This long-awaited third release in the successful Healing Ragas series promises to carry you away on a soothing and magical ride.

Manish Vyas plays Santoor and Tabla and is accompanied this time by the entrancing flute playing of Milind Date. The result of their combined artistry are two new  original compositions that are based on the Indian ragas Basant Mukhari and Malkauns.

The ideal music is to create an atmosphere suitable for meditation, relaxation, the Healing Arts, restorative Yoga, Shivasana or sleep.

Moonlight Ragas
by Mandala • MB3412

Two new ragas masterfully performed by the duo Mandala. Specifically suited for evening relaxation, this third release in the successful Healing Ragas series is certain to please
all of Mandala's fans.

Manish Vyas and Bikram Singh return with their third release as Mandala, once again offering an immersive atmosphere of relaxed, meditative Indian sonorities. The music's tranquil, deliberate pacing makes it an easy choice for calming your nerves, or even preparing for sleep at night. It would also be beneficial for Asian healing practices or Savasana session at the end of Yoga practice. - Music Design In Review

While the soothing elements contained within these two pieces makes the album a perfect choice for massage and relaxation, this is still Indian music at its core. That being said, I predict anyone who seeks contemplative music for easing stress or unwinding will find this CD highly enjoyable. It's also ideal for romantic get-togethers
since the music is luxuriantly sensual.
