The kirtan on the Mayapuris "Mridanga" is both powerful and sweet, a tasteful blend of unique melodic composition and a dialogue in the universal language of rhythm. Powerful vocals mix with stirring flute pieces, accompanied by classical violin, heart moving string presentations by the Indian Esraj and Dilruba, and a stunning variety of playful percussion.Guest performances on "Mridanga" include Jai Uttal, Benjy Wertheimer, Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits, and instrumentation from artists around the world, from saxophone and violin pieces from England to exotic Esraj in Costa Rica.
