Album Description"I really like the variety of sounds and moods on this album [which] conveys more of a zest for life than many recordings of this type. Very highly recommended!" -SOLO PIANO PRODUCTIONS "The upbeat interplay of diverse cultures meeting in harmony once again reflects Karunesh?s inspired artistry. All of this clearly influences Global Village: sensual dance grooves, the island spirit, globe-spanning instrumentation with a strong Indian influence, and refreshing ambient sound. Renowned for his emotionally rich ambient music, here Karunesh takes us a little further on a moving and meaningful journey." -BETTE TIMM, REVIEWER "Karunesh makes unabashedly romantic music...weaving exotic voices and cross-cultural elements through his sparkling tapestry, Karunesh finds that perfect balance point where classical, world and healing music join...destined to become a classic release, withstanding the test of time like the purest musical treasures of our generation." -LLOYD BARDE, BACKROADS MUSIC Global Village is the sequel to the extremely popular Global Spirit, which has been a best seller since its introduction in 2000. This new album represents the vision of a unified world where different cultures can merge, supporting and enriching each other. Very upbeat, this musical odyssey features Govi, Bikram, Avinash and other fine musicians. The tracks vary from sensual dance grooves and globe-spanning instrumentation with a strong Indian influence to tracks where multiple stringed instruments join in on African tribal songs. With half a million albums sold to date, Karunesh has become established as one of the best-known artist in this genre of world fusion. His music is featured on the Buddha-Bar series and numerous joint projects.
