CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description In the vast scope of his musical expressions, Prem Joshua, himself a Yatri (traveler) beyond musical traditions, creates an inspired collection of songs reflecting his deep love affair with India. Yatri represents Prem Joshua?s continuing discoveries gleaned from over 20 years of traveling through India. The album?s easygoing, exotic, jazzy vibe reveals a natural openness to the wisdom gained from the simple pleasure of travel, and the friends and experiences gained along the way. Inspired by bus rides through Bali, a guru?s teachings, Indian fables or a dancer?s subtle expression, these songs swing effortlessly between East and West. Featuring artists whose backgrounds are as diverse as their musical input, Yatri is a fine example of true international cooperation. Through the ages, people have heeded a calling to sacred places within and without. They embark on their voyage with the understanding that the path is as important as the destination. In the East, this journey is called Yatra (pilgrimage). If you feel this call, let this album be your travel companion. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsPowerful musical pilgrimage Amaranth | Northern California | 09/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Yatri" is the Sanskrit word for traveller,and on this album Prem Joshua takes listeners on a transcendent musical journey.Prem Joshua is underappreciated as a New Age artist (though his music is bestselling in India),in the shadow of Yanni,Enya, and Deva Premal.He mixes jazz elements, world music and trance with Indian classical music,making something unique.It's too jazzy for a meditation/yoga session,and too meditative for a dancefloor.It isn't easily categorized;that's the source of its genius. Highlights- 1)Saroja,parts one and two-Highly meditative.The blending of voices is hypnotic,eerie and beautiful. 2)Cosmo-Bali-tan-Blends the instruments of Brazil,Africa,and Bali.Steel drums,kalimba,berimbau-a fascinating musical journey. 3)Funky Guru-First heard this on Putumayo World Music's compilation "Asian Lounge";the reason for getting this album.A joyful praise of the guru,whoever your guru is. 4)Sarang Solitaire-Very earthy,deep rhythms. 5)Jaisal Nights-Hypnotic.The chanting accentuates the rhythm of the music. Prem Joshua is a talented instrumentalist and composer.This album should be in every New Age collection!" No Yoga Required Lorenzo | New Hampshire US | 03/31/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've become a huge fan of Prem. "Yatri" (next to Mudra) has become my favorite. Prem has something very special going on and I encourage all musically open minded persons to partake in this joyful and fullfilling expression of truly world music. You don't need Yoga to fully appreciate this music. Thanks " Yatri- deep oriental music Hattan Mk Alghalayini | SA | 06/26/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "i like this kind of lounge music...its a mix between east & west... you can figure that there is a story behind each song"
