Sufi Kirtan

Just discovered this group on Kitzie Stern's New World Kirtan Podcast. Wow. I especially love Estafurallah and Molitah. Excellent for communal chanting...

We have been awaiting the release of this CD since first hearing HuDost at a festival this summer. I am pleased to say that it has most definitely been worth the wait. Their music defies classification both in terms of genre and adequate superlatives. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!

This album, and the songs therein, some of which I have experienced live, constitute to my mind, a kind of eastern and western connection that meets in the Sufi middle. It’s lush, it’s beautiful, and reminds me of Deva Premal, Jai Uttal, and Krishna Das; if those people were connected with the Middle East instead of India. A worthy and beautiful addition to the fabric of world music being made, improbably, by Western souls. I am constantly impressed with the range of their musical styles from “sitting on a train hobo music” to Sufi chants to outright Led Zeppelin-esque sonic palette which I can only compare to listening maestros like Ottmar Liebert, Robert Fripp, and Jimmy Page. You simply HAVE to see them LIVE.

THANK YOU!

From the very first lines of the opening track Bismillah, you are immediately lulled into a sweet sweet sacred space. Fan's of Snaatam Kaur & Deva Premal will have a field day with this new record! Moksha's voice is at once soothing/ calming and energizing/ uplifting. This is an absolute sonic buffet of international influences and different moods and tempos, covering the world and its spiritual, musical roots. The track called Universal Worship covers about a dozen different spiritual lineages within this one song alone! Absolutely exquisite! A Kirtan Magic carpet ride straight into the heart!

New Beautiful music by one of my favorite bands!
