Ranjana Ghatak

An exclusive track from Ranjana's solo album, recorded with Liran Donin and Jack Ross in Monnow Valley Studios, Wales. The lyrics to this song where written by 15th century mystic - Mirabai. Her love for Krishna was unconditional and eternal. What struck me most when reading about her, was hearing of how her poetry and songs had such a heart opening effect on the people. A translation of the lyrics below:

'What is this enchantment! 
How hast thou enchanted me.
Wearing a crown of peacock feathers and yellow robe. 
A strange halo glows around you
In the narrow lanes of  Vrindavan
All the gwaalans ( milkmaids) are entranced by  you. 
But you are my (Meera's) lord, Krishna. 
And I fall at your lotus feet".  

Working with Mercury nominated musician/producer Liran Donin and in demand guitarist/composer Jack Ross,Ranjana has drawn inspiration from her roots in Indian classical music and the mystics,juxtaposing the beauty of sacred Indian vocal music with the driving improvised rhythms of contemporary music. This trio have performed in several venues including Saffron Walden, Bath International Festival and Wigmore Hall.
