| We
recorded this album in a school classroom over the coarse of
a week. It was the culmination of 6 years of music making with
professional musicians, students, friends, and family. The group
is made up of westerners that were brought up on jazz, funk,
rock and classical, along with indians from both the Hindustani
and Carnatic music traditions. Finding the common thread that
connects us all was the biggest challenge when recording this
album. Honoring tradition, heritage, and the vast skill set
that everyone brought to the table was a labor of love, and
it shows in the music. It is all summed up in the title 'Mandali',
which simply means 'circle of friends'. Take a listen and join
our Mandali! |
