`Ras` translates as the `Sublime Essence of God`s Name.` On this release, you can feel that sublime essence in every note. Snatam`s voice is open and filled with such a deep and abiding heart-centered longing for the divine, it is palpable. Snatam Kaur`s voice is artfully blended with Manose`s flute, Benji Wertheimer`s esraj, Thomas Barquee`s keyboard, Simone Selle`s guitar and Sat Nam Singh Ramgotra`s tabla.
