This is exquisite music for both the opening of the summer months and the growth of the soul.
YATRI, Prem Joshua's latest release from White Swan Records, was recorded in the summer moons of 2004 during his travels in Europe and America.
The music's heart though is India and the silent beauty of realised meditation. Even as the musicians dig deep to explore funk and jazz music through the album's world fusion format, YATRI is always a journey within. Twenty years of Prem Joshua's travel in India, his time studying with the great teacher Osho and his mastery as a triple instrumentalist of flute, sitar and soprano saxophone are all elements of YATRI's great substance.
It is a CD that is immediately inviting and infinitely replayable. Perhaps the best World Fusion/New Age release of 2005, and with the year not even half over it would be hard to top.
