RockOm

This week’s RockOm Featured Tracks of the Week are by the much heralded Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits. Their songs, “Surrender” and “Sleeping Soul (Jiv Jago)” are but tiny glimpses into the multi-faceted ensemble lead by Gaura Vani. Their latest release on Mantralogy Records is entitled Ten Million Moons.

Not only has Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits been featured at the sold-out Obama Presidential Inaugural event Chant4Change, they have also recently been heard on NPR’s All Things Considered and seen in the CBS Television Special, "Faith, Music and Culture."

Catch their songs “Surrender” as well as “Sleeping Soul (Jiv Jago)” all this week on the homepage at RockOm.net.

Also, be sure to catch Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits on the first Mantralogy Tour ever! The tour has just begun in New York, continues to Toronto, Canada and then proceeds to LA for their tour of the West Coast ending with the BhaktiFest September 11.

This Thursday we’ll be featuring the entire audio of our interview with Gaura Vani in a new edition of the RockOm.net Podcast.

In addition we’d like to keep you abreast of some RockOm related websites where you can explore videos and connect with us as well. We have a new video of excerpts from RockOm’s interview with Gaura Vani up at our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/rockomrocks as well as at our YouTube page at www.youtube.com/user/rockomrocks where you can see other compelling video excerpts from archived interviews with the likes of Ricky Skaggs, Ms. Odetta, Krishna Das, Zakir Hussain and Brain “Head” Welch of Korn.  Or you can also see the new video promo right below.

Finally, this week RockOm begins experimenting with a couple of new daily features including a "daily quote meditation" and some other surprises. Stay tuned for some additional new blog posts and please let us know your thoughts and feedback!
