Albums

On his 8th solo album, saxophonist/flutist/world music pioneer Praful surprises us with ancient, devotional Sanskrit Mantras — perhaps not so surprising when one knows that Praful composed many of the divine melodies sung by the renowned Mantra singer Deva Premal. On ‘Into Being’ Praful himself sings and plays deep, melodious Mantras for Mahalakshmi, Hanuman, the Guru, Feminine Confidence, Karma Transformation and Water Healing. Mostly composed in (for the genre) unusual song structure, they are blended and enriched with sublime, extended musical journeys. Guests include Indian singer/tabla player Manish Vyas, English singer Lucinda Drayton (Bliss), Cellist Jonathan Hugh, Danish singer Sudha, keyboarder Maneesh de Moor, world percussionist Afra Mussawisade and many more. A profound and touching musical experience that helps you heal and guides you Into Being.
