about

This journey begins on a Banyan tree lined road in India. The last streaks of color from sunset are disappearing and evening is turning to night. Cool air brushes your face as you hear crickets begin the beat. It’s halfway to midnight.

Silver and bamboo flutes, Indian slide guitar and violin, and the one hundred stringed Kashmiri santoor improvise on seductive evening raga melodies with muted reed cornet and harmonica punctuating the Eastern beats.

This music is appropriate for calming your hyper-active dog, soothing your aching mind and heart, yoga, intimacy, dancing through bustling city streets and ambling down a lonely road.

“I have deep respect for Sally as a musician. She is one of the rare Westerners with a true 'feel' for Indian music." Chinmaya Dunster, music producer and composer on New Earth Records

about

Raven Recording New York, New York

Ours is a world beat music without a world, made for a dance without steps, for a tribe without boundaries.

We started recording percussion-driven music in the early 80's to support the 5Rhythms as a dance practice. Since that time we have created twenty albums, each rooted in one or all of the 5Rhythms. We wanted to capture the spirit of the drumming so that people could dance with us.
