964-649 Soul Calling Chandrika Krishnamurthy Tandon is an unusual musician. She cut her teeth in business & finance, & made a name for herself in that field before switching to music. This is her debut album. This is an unusual album. Chandrika uses an ancient Hindu chant/mantra with 8 syllables & sings them in 8 different ragas of Indian classical music. Surprisingly, she manges to pull off each track in new, modern & interesting ways. Listen to 1, 3,5, 8, 9 1. Soul stirring invocation that starts slow & picks up steam. 2. A beautiful number. 3. Starts with a quiet & grave mantra & then settles into a soothing chant. 4. Starts wtih an ancient mantra & then renders the familiar chant in a different raga. 5. There is a nice rythmic & hypnotic edge to this mantra. 6. Slow build up. Only track with a chorus. 7. Listen to the flute in the opening piece when Chandkrika recites the mantra. This is more of a traditional sounding track. 8. Slow start & then at 2.30 Middle Eastern influences music kicks in & the result is an interesting hyrbid. There is a trance like quality to this piece. 9. Peppy & upbeat, with Middle Eastern sounding percussion. Lovely fusion of Indian classical & Middle Eastern sounds. Kamla March 18, 2011 | ||
