Folk & World Music

Best known for his musical dyad with Deva Premal, Miten is a soulful trippy bard in his own right. Temple at Midnight is a soulful, no-frills, all-acoustic tale of love and redemption.

Among the good folk working at Banyen, Samuel Romero is a gifted artist (he designed this album from beginning to end, both musically and artistically) as well as a sparklingly nimble guitarist and heart-fueled singer.

Writer Rex Weyler (Greenpeace, The Jesus Sayings) is also a earthy, songwriting bard. Decades after co-founding Greenpeace and later Hollyhock, Rex has at last recorded—beautifully—his nimble, soulful, and at times shamanic poem-songs.

Charles Van Sandwyk and the Brandywine Boys:

Keith Lowe, acoustic bass.
Steve Dawson, guitar, ukulele, weissenborn, dobro.
Chris Gestrin, pump organ and saloon piano.
Charles van Sandwyk, vocals and narration.

Smell the exotic spices, sway with the blissful grooves and heed the call to devotion as you listen to this exalted, ecstatic music by contemporary mystic and master multi-instrumentalist Karunesh. Featuring good friend Govi on oud and sitar.

There is a stillness, a point of balance, from which all movement and sound emanates. On this CD, Karunesh has established such a base for many wondrous instruments and sounds to leap into joyous expression.
