'Rudraksha'

- Sacred Incantations, Mantras & Chants from India & TIbet

Artist - Poumi

A new addition to the not-so-new genre of World Music is 'Rudraksha' - a recently released CD of sacred chants from India and Tibet. The artiste is Poumi - she is French, and has travelled, lived and choreographed in diverse cultures - understanding and absorbing their philosophy as she went along. 'Rudraksha' is her offering of love to the Hindu and the Tibetan cultures. The lyrics are  one-line mantras or short chants, the music is soothing and refreshing, the diction of some of the words is,  at times, difficult to follow - but that does not take away from the spirit of the album - that of building cultural bridges. I particularly enjoyed the Tibetan chants - which only proves  that language is not a barrier to music. (I don't understand or speak Tibetan). And that is the essence of this CD - music with spirit and beyond barriers. Language is not an issue here.
