Prana is a Sanskrit word meaning: breath, vital energy, life force. It is also an overtone singing choir comprised of professional singers. Prana was formed by Baird Hersey in 2000 to breathe life into the music from his "Waking the Cobra" CD. In October of 2004 Krishna Das attended a release party for Prana’s first CD, "The Eternal Embrace". After Prana had sung, Krishna Das said to Baird, "Let's make a record together or something". Over the next year the "or something" was Krishna Das inviting Prana to sing at his larger benefit Kirtans in the New York area. As part of those evenings KD would join Prana to sing Baird's arrangement of his chant "Puja". The combination of the ethereal sound of overtone singing supporting the rich, open-hearted voice of Krishna Das was stunning. In 2006 Baird and KD decided to record "Puja" for Prana's new CD. The resulting 12 minute piece was so striking, they resolved to record an entire CD together. What emerged from these inspired sessions is "Gathering in the Light", with Krishna Das singing seven of his most beloved chants over arrangements created by Baird and sung by Prana. On four of the pieces, percussion was added: Jerry Marotta on hand percussion and drums, Subash Chandran, playing ghatam (clay pot), Ganesh Kumar playing kanjira (tunable tambourine), and Arjun Alan Bruggeman on Tabla. The only instrument on the CD other than percussion is the human voice. "Gathering In The Light" is dedicated to Pattabhi Jois and Neem Karoli Baba, and, to these ears, represents some of Krishna Das’ most gentle vocals and deepest work. |
