*** THIS CD IS ONE OF CD BABY'S TOP SELLERS! *** "A volcano of a voice! Stringer transported us to another time and place."- LA Yoga Pages "Stringer's voice is rich and expressive... a divine mindtrip you won't want to miss." - Mas-India.com Profiled in Time and Billboard magazines as a leader of the new American kirtan movement, Stringer fuses the East Indian form of rhythmic call-and-response mantra chanting known as kirtan - a practice that has become popular as a live music happening in hundreds of yoga studios across the USA - with the exuberant, groove-oriented sound of American gospel music. As Stringer describes, participating in a kirtan "You're not just listening to the music, you are the music." Recorded in a series of live-in-the-studio sessions, Japa is infused with barefoot grooves, swirling incense and improvisational epiphanies. Produced by noted yoga teacher Saul David Raye, the CD also features the amazing voices of Toni Childs, Donna de Lory, Danny Peck, Suzanne Sterling and C.C. W
