About the Artist
PREM JOSHUA

"Prem Joshua is the new Guru of East-West Fusion Music" The TIMES OF INDIA on his Delhi Concert

The fusion sitar master, Indian flutist, soprano sax player and composer Prem Joshua is a World Music pioneer, creating a new musical synthesis beyond the borders of East and West. Having traveled between India and Europe for over twenty years, Prem Joshua has studied with some of India’s finest musicians, including sitar maestro Ustad Usman Khan. Joshua draws deeply from the well of eastern traditions, but has never lost touch with the pulse of contemporary western music.

Over the years he has refined his distinctive sound, blending the sensuous instrumentation of ancient India with evocative melodies, modern electronica grooves and danceable ethnic rhythms. His creative musical blend has brought recognition from critics, music lovers and the press throughout the East and West. In India he is celebrated as the “new guru of fusion."

Accompanied by the versatile tabla and santoor player, Manish Vyas, Prem Joshua has toured around the world, giving highly acclaimed concerts in Malaysia, Japan, Israel, India, Europe and the USA. A native of Germany, he now lives among the beautiful Tuscan hills of Italy.

Master musicianship is immediately apparent in the music: in the playing, the composition and the transmission of both deep meditative states and full-throttle blissfull joy. Whether in live performance or on high quality CD, Prem Joshua and his musical companions invoke a memorable and finely woven tapestry of sonic magic.

Customer Reviews:

Absolutely Fantastic fusion music!!!.......2005-11-15

WOW, WOW WOW!!!! Need I say more. I've never ever listened to anything so melodious and beautiful like Sky Kisses Earth. The music is amazingly soothing and absolutely fantastic. Several of my friends loved it. Would have given 10 stars.

Original, deep, very beautiful.......2004-12-09

I'm wary of europeans playing Indian music and raga fusion. It usually sounds fake. But, not this! It's a balance of East and West that works, and transmits a genuine expression of the heart. It has variety, sophistication and surprise.

A different flavor compared to his previous works.......2002-11-14

I purchased this album in Bombay, along with Mudra, and I noticed that both albums had a lot in common.

You'll notice a lot more use of keyboards, thanks to his collaboration with Manish Vyas.

My favorite track is the title track - Sky Kisses Earth. Starts off with harmonious voices blended with sitar and santoor and soon the beats kick in... like i said, a new flavor! However, his previous albums like Desert Visions and Hamsafar still remain unsurpassed as far as Im concerned, which is why I give this album a 4.
