An Offering of Sacred Music
Ancient Indian prayers and poems set to new music by Tamarind Free Jones and Gawain Mathews
Praise for Tamarind’s music:
"Hauntingly beautiful, sung with the voice of an angel. A mesmerizing sound that will soothe your soul and lift your spirit toward the light in the universe. A breath of fresh air from the void of modern music."
—Karl Anderson, Global Recording Artists
“Exotic and yet accessible, different from anything I’ve heard before."
—Paul Liberatore, The Marin Independent Journal
Swan, my soul, tell me your old story.
Where have you come from,
to what shores do you fly?
Where might your search lead,
and what gives you peace?
With the dawn, wake up, fly free and follow me.
There is an invisible place free of delusion, doubt and sadness,
where even fear of death is outshined.
