Deva Premal & Miten - Satsang: A Meditation In Song and Silence - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2018 . Deva is a calling - beyond the chattering mind, the heaviness of the heart and the numerous distractions of life, into a place of refuge and conscious relaxation. Alternately soothing, uplifting, and inviting, Deva's voice ushers us into deeper states of meditation, serving as a portal to inner-peace. The album is book-ended by versions of the InchSeven Chakra Gayatri MantraInch, creating an experience of a mystical journey well-travelled and coming full circle. Tracks range from alluring chants with life-partner Miten, to soaring bansuri lines by Nepalese maestro Manose, embedded inside a musical landscape created by producer Joby Baker's sensual groove based instrumentation - including the prayerful InchPrabhujeeInch, written by Pundit Ravi Shankar and featuring his daughter, Anoushka Shankar, on sitar. Always nurturing, this musical journey inspires everything from deep meditation to healing sleep to gentle dance movements, making the album tracks suitable for diverse playlists.

2013 from New Age couple Deva and Miten joined here by Manose, the bansuri bamboo flute player from Nepal.

The German-born Premal's distinctive vibrato blends easily with the hypnotic vibe of the Reggae-inflected rhythms, heightening the inherent power of the sacred chants she sensually intones.
