Editorial Reviews

Presented by the Chicago Children's Choir, 'Sita Ram,' an original world musical, sets the ancient eastern epic, 'Ramayana,' to music with inspired and inventive theatricality resulting in a must-hear spectacle. Mixing musical styles such as pop, gospel and classical in this original music, the voices of the Chicago Children's Choir detail the story of the powerful love that is created when the two elements, Sita and Rama come together, and the peace that is possible through love. This CD made possible by a grant from Chase. Founded in 1956, the Chicago Children's Choir is a multiracial, multicultural choral music education organization, shaping the future by making a difference in the lives of children and youth through musical excellence.

This review is from: Sita Ram (Audio CD)

A superb album of music from the original stage musical Sita Ram, sung by an amazing group of up and coming young adults. Highlights include Om Shanti, with melodious chants and melow hindi rap; Sita Ram a wedding song soring to amazing heights in a beautiful ensemble song with amazing riffs; and the be-boppy Rama's Back. For the balad lovers there's i can save the world for you, let me be fire...and even some south asian calyspo sounding tunes like a funky monkey song to hanuman. Just wonderful, I really enjoy listening to this one.
