Blissful Ancient Mantras – With a voice like an angel, Jaya Lakshmi has entranced audiences at her legendary live shows for years. Her creative mix of global folk, ambient trance-grooves and lush layered vocals captures the essence of traditional chants from India in a fresh new way. SUBLIME, produced by Steve Gordon (Buddha-Lounge, Sacred Earth Drums), expands upon Lakshmi’s gifts tenfold, capturing the intrinsic beauty of centuries old mantras and pairing them with hypnotic electronica grooves that push the boundaries of the genre in enticing directions. Imagine rich, passionate vocals floating in a sea of trance-inducing ambience and tabla rhythms that are perfectly integrated with hypnotic trip-hop beats; while bamboo flute, sarod and guitar add richness and melody. Featuring acclaimed world music artists, such as Daniel Paul (Jai Uttal), Manose (Deva Premal) and Deva Priyo (Lost at Last), SUBLIME will add a whole new dimension to your yoga, relaxation and chilling.
