Namaste album for sale Product Description

Namaste album for sale by Kenny G / Rahul Sharma was released May 22, 2012 on the Universal Japan label.

They called on mixologist and producer Marc Burrows (known here as Kid Tricky) of the U.K. dance music group Bimbo Jones. While the original contained seven compositions, this one has ten. Burrows re-sequenced the set and brought the backbeat to a pronounced place in the foreground, adding what the label calls a "chill vibe" and making the entire date sound geared toward club music as a world fusion exercise. He remixed the title track and "Transcendental Consciousness," and provided a bonus dance mix of the title track to bookend the set. Burrows also played bass, guitar, keyboards, and drums and provided loops throughout. Sharma, a native of Kashmir and a third-generation master of the exotic 100-string santoor, is a classically trained musician. It is he who shines brightest here, both his instrumental skills and his singing. ...See Full Description
