Reaching In >>
"I can't stop listening to the 'Hindu Peace Prayer' with an 'Om Shanti' chrous that could become the anthem for the rest of [Stow's] career...engaging chants that reverberate in the soul well after the music ends." - LA Yoga Magazine
"Larisa Stow blends evocative lyrics and melodies with powerful messages and mesmerizing rhythms. This is music that touches the heart." -- Music Connection
Must have music for yoga, movement, and reflection! Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe (formerly Gathering Guru) create an unprecedented blend of ancient Eastern mantras and contemporary Western sounds with their debut release. Stow's voice is absolutely mesmerizing as these empowering messages of peace and love transport the heart and soul on an inspirational journey. Includes sacred chants in Sanskrit, Aramaic and English.
Ancient chants transform into catchy melodies as Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe unfold a truly unique variation on sacred music by blending a variety of pop/rock flavorings and tribal drum grooves into flavorful new "East meets West" recipes. Each track is a complete journey unto itself, including the memorable "Amba Amba," a powerful mystery entitled "Amma," and an amazing rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" in the original Aramaic language.
As winner of the Los Angeles Music Awards' Singer/Songwriter of the Year, Larisa Stow is know for her thought-provoking, soul-search lyrics and haunting melodies. Most recently, her passion to integrate the sounds of popular music with the ancient form of kirtan, devotional call and response music, has driven her to collaborate with Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter, Rick Hahn (Celine Dion). The magic of that union resulted in Reaching In, a compilation of engaging kirtans.
