Reviews
"This heart-centered album features Indian-inspired
melodies that will spark your creative side. The
album’s producer, Karunesh (Sanskrit for
“compassion”), studied with musicians
from around the world for five years while living
in a German ashram. Now he creates spiritually
oriented world-fusion CDs. In Joy of Life, he
blends the modern and traditional, the acoustic
and electric, to create tunes that open the heart
and quiet the mind. Most songs open like a prayerful
surrender, with mystical chimes and introspective
single notes from a haunting female Indian vocalist,
or an Indian violin, sitar, or bansuri (bamboo
flute). These notes are soon joined by hypnotic
percussion to create vibrant yet nurturing tracks.
Each song is a story – a story of love,
loss, hope, and sadness that graces a life fully
embraced."
