With a beautiful blend of mantras and songs, this album includes the prayers and mantras of Guru Nanak and Yogi Bhajan blended with the poetry of Rumi, Thich Nhat Hanh and Mirabai Ceiba's own gentle poems.Angelika's harp and piano and Markus' guitars are the musical foundation supporting the intimate marriage of their voices on this album. They are joined by the masterful cello of Cameron Stone, the eclectic and irresistible percussion of Benjamin Wittman, the amazing tablas of Arjuna Alan Bruggeman, the ney and recorders of Daphna Mor and the absolute musical wizardry of Jamshied Sharifi on piano, pump organ, bass, accordion and electric guitar.Mirabai Ceiba is a musical project created by Angelika Baumbach from Mexico (vocal and harp) and Markus Sieber from Germany (vocal and guitar). They perform a compilation of original songs in Spanish and English as well as newly arranged chants from different traditions of the world and Gurmukhi Mantras. The name Mirabai Ceiba expresses the influences of both India and Native Latin America. The Ceiba is the sacred tree of Latin America, where these trees are never cut but are allowed to grow very tall.""We wish our music could be like that kind of tree, with roots deep in the Mother Earth and branches extending wide into Father Sky. Mirabai is for us the wandering, the devotion, the inspiration in all the different aspects of divinity."" - Angelika and Markus"
