专辑简介

This song is not a mantra, but rather a "shabad" which is a song derived from a sacred, Sikh text in the Gurmukhi language. This song comes from the Adi Granth - the holiest Sikh text, and is a song honoring the fourth Sikh Guru who was called Guru Ram Das. In his signature style, Stefanosis breaks from typical tradition by using north African instruments instead of east Indian ones (except for the harmonium). Such instruments such as the lotar and the oud give the song a very eastern, almost Andalusian feel, meanwhile the devotional lyrics would be recognized by a practicing Sikh or anybody from Punjab in northern India. Harjot Kaur 'ajg' is also featured on backing vocals for this one. Positive and uplifting with a world music feel, this song is meant to cross many cultural boundaries while remaining sacred and authentic.
