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.

Wonderfully meditative.......2006-10-18

"Mudra" is a great introduction to East-West fusion music.The opening song,"Lahore Connection-Radio Mix",skillfully blends Western sensibilities with Eastern traditions.While "Shiva Moon I" is danceable,"Shiva Moon II" is meditative&mysterious."Lahore Connection-Ethnic Mix" takes the opening song to a deeper,mystical level.

For New Age music,Prem Joshua is incredibly accessible--and underrated.His music is played at a local Eastern imports store,but he isn't heard much else.This album is a good introduction to Prem Joshua;"Yatri"&"Water down the Ganges" are more Eastern,the former with more Indian influences,the latter with more Arabic influences.Putumayo's "Asian Lounge" introduced me to Prem Joshua's music,since it has the tracks "Funky Guru"&"Water down the Ganges." "Mudra" is an excellent album if you're interested in East-West fusion music;it's a great place to start!

Music that touches your soul..........2006-04-19

Absolutely gorgeous pieces of music on this CD. Track #7: Lahore Connection-the Ethno Mix, track #8: Road to Solaia, and track #9: Saffron Dreams will touch your soul. Track #5: Darbari NYC and track #10: Banyan Dreams are nice also but you have to be in the mood.
Also, this CD features, 2 very up-tempo, dancable tunes - track #3: Shiva Moon and track #6: Wild Ghunghu. Not only are they uplifting but also stunningly beautiful.
One track I didn't care much for was the opening one: the radio mix of Lahore Connection. It wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as the Ethno Mix.
This is a must have for all fusion/new age/indian music lovers.
