13 June 2009 Krishnafest

Here's a video and a recording from last night's kirtan.

The kirtan is one of my mash-ups. It's constructed from a song I really liked in the 80's, a tune from Jai Uttal, and a song that was always playing on the bus when I lived in Perú. This take was a bit of a practice for tonight's Sunday Feast. Since the album isn't out yet peeps don't have the opportunity to thrash it on their iPods, and so they're learning the phrasing and melody by the old school method - trial and error and listening and repeating live. Vraj was also working out the bass line as we went. He came up with some funky stuff.

I'll record tonight's kirtan too, and we'll see how they compare.
