Newman, David - Acoustic Chant: Ukulele Kirtan Serenades [CD]

David Newman's eleventh release, Acoustic Chant: Ukulele Kirtan Serenades, was born out of David's desire to record an intimate chant album, and his love for the ukulele. Acoustic Chant is a soothing and celebratory recording of traditional Kirtan mantras accompanied by elements of Hawaiian, Appalachian and American folk music. On this CD, David demonstrates his rich relationship with the yogic chant tradition while continuing to apply unique and eclectic musical influences to this ancient practice. Acoustic Chant: Ukulele Kirtan Serenades features beautiful duets between David and his wife, Mira, delivering ten gorgeous, time-honored Sanskrit mantras with elegant simplicity and inviting listeners to sing along and effortlessly embrace the healing joys of chanting.
