JAI UTTAL & PAGAN LOVE ORCH. – “Mondo Rama”
Narada, 2002

Mellow world fusion with a folksy-rocky-funky New Age outlook. Did that make sense? Anyway, the music uses bits and pieces from all over but is inspired mainly by India. Many of the tracks pay tribute to Shiva or other Hindu gods (see lyrics). Track 3 is a Beatles cover. Track 5 is in Hebrew, but most others mix English with prayers and chants. There’s a long list of traditional instruments in the credits but you won’t hear much of them in the first half. This would play well at a Starbucks or something…
