A Hundred Blessings
by Mirabai Ceiba

The magic of a Mirabai Ceiba album is Angelika Baumbach and Markus Sieber's skillful ability of melding classic mantra with dreamy, ethnic-tinged arrangements that ebb and flow with peaceful serenity. As a result, their music is very meditative, putting the listener at ease and filling them with spiritual bliss. A HUNDRED BLESSINGS features the duo's layered vocals against low-key rhythm, cello, flute, piano, organ, accordion, harp and guitar. The album specifically focuses on showcasing the beauty of classic Gurmukhi mantras. The music is gentle in tone, with a tender sense of warmth and a touch of poetry in the lyrics, particularly in the title track (based on a verse from Rumi). Other highlights include "Ra Ma Da Sa," a light piece that blends hushed chant with cello and harp, and "Pavan Guru," which has a subtle Mediterranean slant.
