Refresh your spirit with soothing mantra music with original India- meets-Celtic sound. Blissful vocals, Spanish guitar, Celtic Flute and Cello create a nourishing vibe for yoga, relaxation or the healing arts. Radiance is produced once again by Steve Gordon (Yoga Planet, Buddha Lounge, Drum Prayer) and features top-notch global guest artists such as Deva Priyo (Lost at Last) on Spanish Guitar and Sarod, Vince McClellan on Bansuri, Native American and Celtic Flutes and Nishya Calkin-Godfrey on Cello. This deeply inspiring album is very acoustic, intimate and has beautiful simplicity that is really moving. Lakshmi sings with the deep inner peace that comes from many years of leading kirtans in yoga studios and concerts throughout the country. Quieter and more serene than her previous albums, the music creates a soothing mood perfect for yoga, meditation and relaxing. Lakshmi’s song writing is her best yet, with many beautiful melodies that will leave you with a tranquil glow.
