Start
your day on a divine note...
If you want to start your day on a divine note, cue up Santa
Fe singer Mirabai's This Love. Her renditions of the mystics
poets tune me up and propel me between the cracks of the
daily into the territory of Rumi, Ghalib, Lalla, and Mirabai,
this singer's namesake. Her musical lineage, trained in eastern
and western traditions, brings us the intimacy of a jazz
club, the mystery of inside the tent, and the professionalism
of the large stage, creating her own genre. This music is
in the key of awe and can serve as background or foreground,
if you listen to the words or meditate with the sound.

Powerful,
soulful music
This beautiful and inspired CD has a mesmerizing and transcendent
quality consistent with Rumi's writings. There is an immediacy
to Mirabai's singing that is both palpable and stirring.
She gets way down deep to draw out what she does. As I listen
to the CD over and over, I continue to hear new elements
in her delivery and in the jazzy, percussive music played
by outstanding artists.

If
you love to sing and chant this CD is for you!
I sing with this all the time. It's like a cool drink in
the dry, hot desert. You can 'fill up' on this beautifully
produced offering of jazzy Caravan songs and chants but this
is music you can also bring to the party. You can't go wrong
with this CD!

Excellent! Opa! Bravo!
Mirabai is one MAJOR artist. This is the first CD I've
heard which is geared toward meditation but does not rely
heavily on repetition to "numb the mind."
The musicianship is excellent throughout, the material
varied and highly evocative of the Great Mystery that surrounds
us all. Excellent use of traditional Greek, Middle Eastern
and other genres as well as a fluid and highly accessible
jazzlike genre in one tune. You gotta get this CD even
if you don't meditate!
