Tibetan Buddhist chants set to world beat percussion. Perfect for yoga, massage and meditation.
Editorial review
Roth has generated a considerable amount of attention over the past few years, sometimes appearing controversial, at other times almost seeming to be part of the new age/new spiritual mainstream (though this latter suggestion might cause serious agitation on her part). Refuge, produced in collaboration with Russian vocalist Boris Grebenshikov, embraces standard forms and steps beyond them, thanks to Grebenshikov's resounding baritone. The album is dedicated to Tibet, with income from the album being donated to Tibetan support groups. A beautiful piece of work with a wonderful spiritual glow at its heart. ~ Steven McDonald, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Take world-beat percussion and the music of Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors; Add Tibetan Buddhist chants sung by legendary Russian rocker, Boris Grebenshikov ... Seek REFUGE.
Perfect for spiritual meditation, massage, sacred dance and pure listening enjoyment, the ravishing ecstasy of this magical music will make your Buddha soul smile. For her tenth album with Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors, Gabrielle has rounded up a bevy of world-class musicians including Boris (known as "Russia's Lennon" for his position as that country's top underground pop performer) for this deeply profound, moving album that gets richer with every listening.
Throughout this transcendant yet intimate recording, a delicious combination of rolling percussion, spicy ethnic instrumental accents, and dramatic pauses meld with Boris' deeply resonant chanting to express the exalted yearning of a displace culture.
