Grammy nominated Jai Uttal (2002 Mondo Rama) is a pioneer in the world of music community with his eclectic east meets west sound. His 2011 album and eleventh studio release, Queen of Hearts, is a unique mixture of reggae, ska, and samba rhythms, used as a backdrop for call and response, dance-oriented Kirtan, and invoking Queen Radha (Radharani), the bestower of devotion. Recorded in California, the eight track album was written and produced by Uttal alongside his longtime collaborator Ben Leinbach.
