Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A lush musical journey into Hindu spiritualism, Pilgrim Heart encompasses Shiva chants, Hare Krishna mantras, and other chants given a modern twist. Krishna Das and his myriad guests musicians (including a female chorus dubbed the Kirtan Posse) incorporate Indian instruments, African percussion, electronics, even bass and guitar into serene, richly layered songs that provide good background music for meditation or relaxation. Unlike some of Krishna Das's other recorded music, this album is even-keeled, and the repeated use of Hare Krishna chants wears thin at times, but the music generally provides a satisfying antidote for the stress of the modern world. One nice surprise is the upbeat, soukous-flavoured "Ring Song" that ends the album on an energetic note. --Bryan Reesman

CD Description
Krishna Das, an American devotee of the late Indian guru Neem Karoli Baba, has become the Western world's most beloved chanter by virtue of records like PILGRIM HEART, which fuse traditional Hindu slokas and mantras to vibrant pop melodiesfrom various cultures. It may sound pretentious or schlockyon paper, but Das's aim is true. Warmth, wit, and humility radiate from every track of this album (and its self-deprecating liner notes), and the stylistic experiments succeed most of the time, making the chants accessible and even catchy.
With the exception of the dreamy "Mother Song", the lyrics derive from Sanskrit texts--there are chants to Shiva, Krishna, and a slew of goddesses. One chant to Krishna materialises as a slow but stirring gospel number, weaving in and out of lines from "Amazing Grace", while a lilting tropical breeze blows through another. An ode to Kali/Durga sounds like an uplifting Senagalese tune, and the South African "township jive" style gives life to a story from the Ramayana. Synthesizers and traditional pop/rock instrumentation abound, and the overall sound is further Westernised by glossy production and a guest appearance by Sting. Das's resounding, low-pitched vocals and phrasing owe more to Michael Stipe than to classical Indian singers. Krishna Das's singing and chanting are the main elements of his practice as a bhakti yogi--one who attempts to transcend the ego through love and devotion to a supreme being. The depth and sincerity of his devotion is evident in every note of this lovely record.
