Kwali Kumara & Pete Ardron 'Euphoric - Kundalini Yoga Mantras' Review

Artist:

Kwali Kumara &

Pete Ardron


Title:

Euphoric -

Kundalini Yoga Mantras


Label:

Pink Hampster


Released:

21st August 2020




The third collaboration between Snake Charmer, Fire Artist and Kundalini Yoga instructor Kwali Kamara and Orchid-Star’s head honcho Pete Ardon. Where each of the six tracks are built around a 12’ish minute mantra gliding between chilled and dance passages incorporating world music, psychedelic and orchestral flavours.



The album begins in a dramatic fashion with ‘Sa Ta Na Ma Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung – Possibility’ which soon eases into a wonderfully Celtic sounding piece of chill out. I suppose for the vocal aspect you probably need to be in the right mood to flow with the mantra. However, like their previously collaborations they aim to cover two markets and produce music that appeals to yoga students and those who just like the music. The following pieces are quite laid back and harmonic picking up the pace somewhat by the fifth track ‘Wah Yantee Kah Yantee – Intution’ and finishing as they started with a Celtic vibe on ‘Wahe Guru Wahe Jio – Euphoria’.



As with their previous collaborations I think this album would appeal to practitioners and students of yoga and meditation. As well as fans of the unique blend of music that Pete has constructed over the years with his own productions and Orchid-Star.



Review by Woodzee.



The album is available to pre-order at £8 until the 20th of August when the price will rise to £10.
