Cheb i Sabbah's latest tribute to the Gods, Krishna Lila or The Divine Pastimes of Krishna, is an album of bhajans sung in praise of Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Most bhajans were written in India between the 14th and 17th century and cover a spectrum of musical styles that range from chants (dhun) to the more sophisticated thumri, a light classical style of singing practiced in North India.  The best traditional bhajans are distinguished by their poetic content and were made famous by the great saint-musicians like Mirabai, Surdas and Kabir.

Most of the musicians were recorded in the Indian cities of Madras, Bombay and New Delhi, and others in New York and San Francisco.  Sung in five different languages, Krishna Lila is strewn together like acoustic jewelry, the common thread being bhakti yoga (devotion) to Krishna.

“Fascinating traditional sounds and vocals blended with cutting edge ambient and dance floor elements.” – Backroads Music
