If you like Krishna Das, I think you will love this one. At one of his concerts I heard him sing Jesus on the mainline and was very happy to see that it is in this collection!

The Darjeeling Limited

CD-Charts > Music > India and Pakistan
from: Abkco

Release Date September 25, 2007
You will become addicted to this soundtrack. It actually surpasses the movie in that respect (although the movie is great too). I'm ready to start searching the cable channels or Netflix looking for these old Satyajit Ray movies.

Grace

CD-Charts > Music > India and Pakistan
by: Snatam Kaur

Release Date October 01, 2004
Snatam Kaur has the most angelic voice I have ever heard!
What prompted me to buy this CD was a yoga teacher who played a song from this album at the conclusion of a yoga class. I was so taken by the purity of her voice that I HAD to have it for my own yoga classes. It is wonderful background and meditation music. I'm glad I bought it.

Lovely music. Nice Indian flavor yet contemporary. Dreamy. Great addition to have Sting accompany on the one track. Ravi gets it going fast on his tracks. Love Karsh Kale on this.

The Concert for Bangladesh

CD-Charts > Music > India and Pakistan
by: George Harrison

Release Date October 25, 2005
This 1971 album was the first of the all-star benefit albums. And arguably the best. In a nut shell, George Harrison, fresh off his success with "All Things Must Pass" raised his profile even further when he joined with Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar for 2 benefit shows at Madison Square Garden. At the time, Bangladesh was ½ a world away and largely unknown and forgotten by Americans and the rest of the world for that matter. Plus it had been born out of a war between religions and torn apart even further by devastating floods. George's idea was simple; gather as many musician friends as he could for a concert and maybe raise some money to aid the citizens of the emerging nation of Bangladesh. But even with his high profile, George was uncertain ... Read More:

Three Ragas

CD-Charts > Music > India and Pakistan
by: Ravi Shankar

Release Date July 18, 2000
Whether you are familiar with Ravi Shankar or not, if you have any interest in great music you should buy this album. I believe this is Ravi Shankar's first "Western" album, and it's a magnificent introduction to 3 different kinds of Ragas. The rhythms and artistry are simply transfixing. This should be part of any music lover's collection.

Live on Earth...For a Limited Time Only

CD-Charts > Music > India and Pakistan
by: Krishna Das

Release Date October 04, 2005
Krishna Das is amazing. He is universally recognized as the best at what he does, and this 2-disk set is full of his best work. If you only buy one kirtan style chant CD, this is the one I would recommend.
