Called the “Chant Master of American Yoga” by the New York Times, Krishna Das will release Heart As Wide As The World, his first studio album in ten years, March 2, 2010. The album is a collaboration with David Nichtern (“Midnight at the Oasis”) who produced and played guitar. It features musicians like Jerry Marotta (Hall & Oates, Peter Gabriel) on drums, percussion and world musicians Steve Gorn on bansuri flute and Benjy Wertheimer on esraj, amongst an array of other instruments.
Krishna Das will also be touring in spring 2010 with Deva Premal & Miten, dubbed “The Johnny and June Carter Cash of chant” by Yoga Journal . Together they are creating an extraordinary series of concerts across the US, highlighting the newfound popularity of kirtan and mantra chanting. These musicians, who have enjoyed a worldwide grass-roots success the past decade, are each celebrating the release of new albums with their first co-headlined tour. (tour dates below)
