This is the recording of the Silent Disco Ecstatic Dance Hybrid set that we played on the beach at Pranamar in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica during the full moon in aquarius on july 23rd 2021.

It was such a magical night. The fact that everyone was listening to the music on wireless headphones allowed them to immerse themselves fully in the sounds while connecting with nature, with the feet in the ocean dancing under the full moon. What a magical night it was. We hope you can feel the medicine of this magical co-creation with the moon and the deep blue sea.

Big thanks to everyone who came to dance with us and to Laurie for creating this beautiful event and inviting us <3

Blessings

Steffen & Maywa

Every once in a while there comes a song that becomes the anthem for all the couples out there.. Here’s IndoSoul’s cover of one such song - Munbe Vaa from the movie Sillunu Oru Kadhal.

Munbe Vaa - Indosoul By Karthick Iyer

This track is from my Bliss of Kirtan album and is available for purchase on my website at this link: https://nateshkirtan.com/store. 

The track is a medley of two Ganesha chants written by Natesh.  The first is 'Vakratunda Mahakaya' and the second is 'Ganesha Sharanam Sharanam Ganesha' (which opens with the mantra Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha).  There is an instrumental transition between the two chants, which are in different keys.  The lyrics for the two different chants are as shown below.  

The track opens with a santoor intro by Madan Oak, and features Yvette Om and Joni Allen joining Natesh on call and response vocals.  In addition to Madan Oak on santoor, it also instrumentally features Steve Oda on sarod, Daniel Paul on tabla, Ben Leinbach on bass guitar, drums and percussion, and Natesh on guitars, drums and percussion.

The lyrics are:

OM Vakratunda Mahaakaaya Suryakoti Samaprabha 
  Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva Kaaryeshu Sarvadaa

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
Ganesha Sharanam Sharanam Ganesha

Meanings:

O, one with twisted trunk and enormous form, who shines more brilliantly than a billion Suns, please bless me that all obstacles be removed from all my endeavors, always.

Salutations to Ganapati (Ganesha).  I seek refuge in Ganesha.

The band’s first ever composition, ‘A Clown’s Junket’ represents Karthick Iyer’s first few steps as he transitioned from a being a freelance violinist to the front-man of his solo outfit. It is set in Raga Sankarabharanam (the Western major scale), one of the most fundamental scales from which many ragas have evolved. It represents the beginning of the musician’s journey, as he balances his feet, while ensuring the audience stays entertained. The chorus signifies joy that comes from reaching small goals the band set for themselves.

IndoSoul
The Indian civilization has stood the test of time, welcoming and absorbing numerous cultures along the way. It has reinvented itself with every addition, but never lost its depth. In a similar vein, IndoSoul goes beyond the confines of genre, seeks out and welcomes other musical influences, while retaining its core identity of Indianness. It breaks down superficial barriers between genres, instruments, cultures, languages to bring out deep commonalities that define great music everywhere.
