Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"I can't stop listening to the 'Hindu Peace Prayer' with an 'Om Shanti' chrous that could become the anthem for the rest of [Stow's] career...engaging chants that reverberate in the soul well after the music ends." - LA Yoga Magazine

"Larisa Stow blends evocative lyrics and melodies with powerful messages and mesmerizing rhythms. This is music that touches the heart." -- Music Connection

Must have music for yoga, movement, and reflection! Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe (formerly Gathering Guru) create an unprecedented blend of ancient Eastern mantras and contemporary Western sounds with their debut release. Stow's voice is absolutely mesmerizing as these empowering messages of peace and love transport the heart and soul on an inspirational journey. Includes sacred chants in Sanskrit, Aramaic and English.

Ancient chants transform into catchy melodies as Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe unfold a truly unique variation on sacred music by blending a variety of pop/rock flavorings and tribal drum grooves into flavorful new "East meets West" recipes. Each track is a complete journey unto itself, including the memorable "Amba Amba," a powerful mystery entitled "Amma," and an amazing rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" in the original Aramaic language.

As winner of the Los Angeles Music Awards' Singer/Songwriter of the Year, Larisa Stow is know for her thought-provoking, soul-search lyrics and haunting melodies. Most recently, her passion to integrate the sounds of popular music with the ancient form of kirtan, devotional call and response music, has driven her to collaborate with Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter, Rick Hahn (Celine Dion). The magic of that union resulted in Reaching In, a compilation of engaging kirtans.

5.0 out of 5 stars hauntingly beautiful, February 19, 2008

By	Sharon Jones (Desert Hot Springs, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was introduced to Larissa Stow thru my yoga teacher, who sometimes plays "Unfold" during savasana (relaxation) at the end of classes. Her voice and music really resonate for me. With the lyrics made available I can sing along, kirtan style. I look forward to hearing more of this amazing artist, and highly recommend giving her work a close listen. You'll be hooked!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic New Age Spa music, March 24, 2008

By	Sea Side Susan (wish I was) "Spitz Breeds Lover" (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews

I have really become in - tune with the New Age Spa type music. The rythyms, lyrics etc. are soothing, yet invigorating on this CD. Anyone looking for a easy-going yet new and different 'inner peace boost' would enjoy this CD.
