Nominated for a Grammy in the Best Contemporary World Music Album
category, Om: Namo Narayanaya: Soul Call consists of eight songs
composed around the core of an eight-syllable chant that is over six
thousand years old. Each song has been created in accordance with a
different East Indian raga; arrangements using over 30 acoustic Indian
classical, folk, and Western instruments from vibraphone to acoustic
guitar enrich the presentation. The eight syllables of the central
chant (Om Na Mo Na Ra Ya Na Ya) are from a Vedic tradition, and
believed to create a protective and healing armor about the body. Soul
Call is a moving creation of audible excellence, honoring ancient
traditions while promoting a new way to experience them. The result is
an exceptional addition to world music shelves, highly recommended.
The tracks are "Bhoopali" (7:45), "Bageshri" (7:40), "Shuddha
Sarang" (9:06), "Manj Khamaj Medley" (9:28), "Bhatiyar" (6:28),
"Malkauns" (6:12), "Basanth" (5:10), "Basanth Mukhari" (9:53), and
"Basanth Mukhari - Radio Edit" (3:20).
