Bhakti Seva - Service in Love CD: This new CD is a beautiful composition
of modern beats, harmonies, and music combined with traditional ancient
mantras, chants and bhajans. Most of the songs are sung by Sura. He has a raspy
blues singer voice, being from Chicago, and played and sang the blues in coffee
houses in his college days. Devadeva sings the Hanuman Chalisa which will ring
in your ears for days and days. The lovely Ardas and Mahalaxmi sing sweet
pure innocents to contrast Sura’s mood. The amazing Christo and Adwaita play
percussion, which slowly brings the chanting to its’ crescendo creating a kind
of Kirtan Dance Party . Eddie Young plays the bass and cello, while Marty is the
master of sitar. Several men and women make up the background and
harmony vocals to make this CD soulful, mellow and timeless.
An enchanting mixture of Eastern and Western musical instruments is
wonderfully paired with the uplifting voices of the Temple Bhajan Band to
create a musical offering to Lord Krishna. Cello and saxophone blend
perfectly with the sitar and tablas, while the melodic voices sing traditional
prayers and original songs. The latest release from this popular group is
sure to become a favorite in your devotional music collection.
