Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

The name of our band communicates the essence of what we are about and why we do what we do. We enjoy creating and performing music that awakens and moves "Shakti", sanskrit for the loving, evolutionary force that is the source of all and is often personified as the Divine Mother. We love to create a resonating field of high energy in which the music, the musicians, and the audience merge into one ecstatic experience. Our music is inspired by the celebration of life and the playful awakening of our hearts to the Divine within. As you listen to this CD, and as you dance to it, may all the gods and goddesses descend from the heavens and dance alongside you!

Product Description

Shakti Fusion is a high-energy, heart-centered chant band that blends ancient Sanskrit mantras and original English songs with contemporary jazz, rock, Afro-Cuban, and world beat dance rhythms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a Yoga practice, January 28, 2006

I'm a Yoga teacher always in search of new music for my classes. I had seen this CD during my training and decided to give it a try. It's appropriately upbeat and at the same time a lovely spin on Kirtan. I totally recommend it for those practitioners who practice a Vinyasa-Flow style of yoga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this album, September 20, 2005

This review is from: Shakti Fusion (Audio CD)

owned this album for a couple years now. played it for a friend and he loved it so much i wound up getting him a copy. another friend has a copy and loved it. it has become an album that is around many in my circles. saw them perform live at a yoga conference in new york. apparently they have done some yoga cruises as well and gotten some good appreciation by the audience. certainly a quality experience, and a good expansion on the more traditional sounds of krishna das, who i also love. great stuff for blending the delight of hindu chants with fusion music. kundalini ma with the reggae beat is one i find a certain humor as well as just sheer delight in the sounds. 'om namo bhagavate vasudevaya' has a great devotional quality to it, and was one of the main mantras practiced by followers of kripalu yoga, a lineage i am particularly fond of. i have heard other audio versions of that song, but the vocals on this have a deeper quality to them, and also a male vocal, which i like in contrast to the female version on another artists album (i forget the name of that artist).

even as i write this review i get fond memories of listening to the album in cars, apartments of friends. great album for those seeking something a little different.

4.0 out of 5 stars Your Heart in Music, March 6, 2002

By 

Snarky (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shakti Fusion (Audio CD)

This is an amazing CD. It reflects the heart in all of its moods, but most of all in its purity and gives you freedom to express your own heart as you sing or dance along. From the upbeat and even funny reggae style of "Kundalini Ma" to the hypnotic and haunting "O Divine Mother" the music and lyrics are a joy that linger and stay with you - - you'll find yourself humming as you walk down the street. It's a wonderful CD to just listen to or to enhance, accompany and explore your yoga practice. Best of all, it's a sweet introduction to bhakti and chanting for those who've been curious but hesitate - - and a new spin for bhaktinis everywhere. JAI!
