ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hello friends,
This set is devoted to the Divine Mother, with the exception of one chant, the title track from Shantala’s remarkable new CD ‘Five’. The whole CD is great, but I’m kind of obsessed with this track & have been playing it on loop. Heather Wertheiimer composed the chant over the course of the pandemic, and the mantra ‘Namah Shivaya” pulses like a heartbeat behind a five-line English prayer for our planet. The chanting flows in a layered musical tapestry that features the Grammy-winning violinist and singer Lili Haydn from Opium Moon, and she brings the piece into a beautiful new dimension. The other talented musicians who contributed to this remarkable track were Greg Barnett on bass, lead guitar, vocals, and vocals by Luna Marcus & Sarah Maines.I must have listened to it a hundred times, and it never fails to move me.
I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful early summer wherever you are. It’s an honor to have you as a listener. Until next time my friends. Namaste.
