Prema Hara Tears of Love |

Prema Hara’s second album, Tears of Love, is both a memory and a new exotic taste; a journey through the villages of India and back, to where mantra music blends to meet the western world. At once rhythmic and melodic, grounding, yet uplifting, Tears of Love brings new relevance to the age-old devotional chant culture now burgeoning within yoga and ethnic music communities around the world. Keshavacharya’s chants are deep and meditative, Kamaniya’s, silvery and soothing. Both meld to the smooth beat of the mridanga and tabla drums. The album features master musicians Steve Gorn on bansuri flute and clarinet and Benjy Wertheimer on the traditional Indian esraj, as well as a remix influence from New York City’s conscious rap artist Srikala. Tears of Love imbibes the energy of a live kirtan concert experience: melodious, energetic and utterly infectious.
Since their last release, Sweet Surrender, Prema Hara has traveled across the country on three tours, quickly gaining recognition as one of the West’s most prominent kirtan bands. The band is a regular at distinguished kirtan music venues on both coasts, including Jivamukti Yoga (NYC) and Bhakti Yoga Shala (LA), as well as at heavily attended music festivals such as Bhakti Fest and World Peace & Yoga Jubilee.
Quotes“In ‘Tears of Love’ Prema Hara continue their journey down the corridors of divine love. With heart melting melodies and stirring rhythms, Kamaniya, Keshavacharya Das and Sri Rama reach for the distant feet of their Lord and bring us with them…” –Jai Uttal |
