Prem Joshua — Dance of Shakti
Joshua says this about this album: “As the title suggests — it’s again a more rhythmical, energetic album, and I had maximum fun doing this one.
There are many soulful melodies on Indian instruments like bamboo flute, sitar, dilruba and santoor, flying over strong ethnic and modern grooves, hiphop, drum ‘n’ bass and trancey rhythms and sounds — all interwoven with Manish’s ‘pumping’ tablas. But there is one more thing. I got totally into singing! As wise English lyrics about love and life don’t come easily to me and ‘lalala’ felt a bit boring, I got into my own very contemporary version of Indian ‘Tarana’ singing and also chose some beautiful mantras.
This album went through many different stages. First I did initial recordings in India, then I took the pieces on tour to play them live. Afterwards I recorded them in my private studio in Tuscany, Italy, and finally taking them to studios in Holland and Denmark.
The main musicians I’m playing with are Manish Vyas, multi-instrumentalist from India; Maneesh de Moor, keyboardist from Amsterdam; and Rishi, drummer, producer and genius from Copenhagen. Of course there are also other musicians who left their juicy statements on the album, like Chintan and Dinesh from ‘Hamsafar’ and great talents from the Indian and Danish music scene.
