Track 1 from Kirtaniyas album "Heart & Soul"

Invocation - (Heart & Soul)

Sri Sri Guruv-astika, kirtan on guitar

KIRTANIYAS — a crew of talented performers — all of them singers and musicians. These energetic, multi-talented artists come from a rich, colorful background. They grew up in a Krishna culture of song, dance, philosophy and devotion. At the heart of it all, there was always Kirtan. It owned their passion before they could talk. Restlessly tapping out drum beats till they got on their mothers’ nerves; dreamily humming tunes; studying songs and lyrics and language; learning to play instruments — they were never more passionate about anything.

Invocation - (Heart & Soul)
