Deva Premal, Miten & Manose - Songs For The Sangha (2015)

Songs for the Sangha is an exploration of fresh musical terrain for these beloved devotional musicians - a collection of ancient Indian texts, sung with effortless artistry by Deva Premal, coupled with Miten's sensual reggae grooves that pulse and weave beneath spiritually inspired anthems.
Add classical Indian bamboo flute, courtesy of renowned Nepalese bansuri maestro and vocalist Manose, the rock-solid foundation of producer Joby Baker's bass and drums, and UK keyboard wizard Spencer Cozens' jazz-inflected piano contributions, and this very rich, evocative new album. Surrounding themselves with three such fine and diverse musicians, Deva Premal & Miten have transformed their music into a musical magic carpet ride, played exquisitely by an elegant five-piece band.

Translated from Sanskrit, sangha means spiritual family. The golden thread that runs through this record is a sense of harmony, adventure and devotion. Qualities you'd definitely be grateful in any family or community, spiritual or otherwise.
