This award-winning debut kirtan album features lush world instruments in rhythm and sound. Based upon the traditional call-and-response style of kirtan, this album will transform any space into sacred ground. Featuring Michael Kashou, renowned and multi-talented fretless bass artist (Garbage, Violent Femmes), Girish Gambhira (Krishna Das, Thomas Barquee, Snatam Kaur, etc.) a sea of chanters, and heartfelt vocals, Best of Both Worlds embodies the full heart and spirit of kirtan. This CD was released as a tribute to Sri Swami Rama of the Himalayas.
