There’s no mistaking it, chanter Ragani and her backing crew definitely have spirit. There’s pure joy being poured into the call-and-response style kirtans presented on BEST OF BOTH WORLDS; it’s very obvious that this album was a labor of love for all those involved. Imagine it – the music swells, the speed of the instrumentation increases and the whole sonic scene becomes a whirl of ecstatic bliss and prayerful chant. It’s an infectious atmosphere, you can’t help but want to move with the music. This dynamic kirtan session is a tribute to yoga master Sri Swami Rama, her teacher and friend. Proceeds from the album’s sale will support the charitable hospital in Northern India and other non-profit organizations established by Swami Rama.
