Manose - Epiphany - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Take a lively expedition through the Himalayas without needing to buy a parka! Manose pays homage to the traditional music of his Nepalese homeland with a collection of vibrant flute pieces backed by sarangi, guitar and rhythmic percussion. The music has an appealing folk music quality to it - while listening, you can't help but imagine festivals and dances in the villages around Kathmandu. The mood is upbeat and joyous, with bright flute arrangements interweaving with the sarangi's characteristic Asian lute sound. InchIn the Spider's WebInch is a great example of the album's sprightly feel - the music is buoyant and danceable, capturing the charm of Nepalese courtship rituals. InchFluttering SilkInch is a beloved folk tune from the region and Manose captures it's whimsy well. Fans of Tibetan and central Asian traditional music will appreciate the sound-scape that Manose has created here and find themselves swept up in it's melodic splendor. Album Tracks 1. Kauda 2.

2010 . Hailing from Nepal, Manose is a master of the bamboo flute, gifted with the ability to tap into the instrument's haunting sound and wrap the listener in an atmosphere of healing and bliss. Suskera features three extended-length raags from Manose, each performed using a different scale. InchRaag YamanInch is the most dynamic of the three, featuring the dancing bamboo flute tones in a ballet of devotion and meditation. InchRaag BhagreshriInch is a lighter, more calming piece with sensual undertones. The final track, InchRaag Jog,Inch is the softest of the bunch, with tones that are performed slowly and deliberately. In each case, the flute is solo, with some minor drone sound in the background. Great for meditation or creating an authentic environment for yoga practice. Album Tracks 1. Raag Yaman 2. Raag Bhagreshri 3. Raag Jog
