Kīrtan from Vraja and Shyama @ Ter Kadamba Mandir

Sounds from an
Ocean of Tears
2014

"It sounds like traditional Bengali kīrtan without sounding like traditional Bengali kīrtan." Tambura, Koto, Bulbul Taraṅg, Mañjira, Mṛdāṅga, and many other instruments. Over an hour of Kīrtans.

For some idea what it sounds like, here are a few youtube videos of previous kīrtan's we've done (these are not on the CD).
