Synopsis

Album Description
The ebb and flow of the tides?the universal pulse?moves within each of us as the primordial ocean that makes up 75 percent of our bodies. Jala (or "water") features artists from the soundtrack of Shiva Rea?s new DVD Fluid Power. Chosen specifically to get listeners into a state of flow with the body?s cycles of living energy, Jala showcases the talents of premier artists including: ? French-Caribbean vocalist/percussionist Joel Virgel, whose music has been described as "a potpourri of breathy, silky tunes, sexy and sensual" ? Shaman?s Dream?featuring Craig Kohland and Rara Avis, the unique sound of this world-groove troupe has found its way into compositions for theater, dance, yoga, and the healing arts ? KDZ?the seven-member ensemble known for their fusion of Afro-Caribbean drumming and yoga-attuned sensibilities The universe is in a state of flux and flow, and yoga, teaches Shiva Rea, is about finding that pulse and moving with it. Now listeners will enjoy an ethereal immersion into that ever-changing rhythm?carried on the waves of Jala.

True to its name
Cathey Chesney | Somewhere Warm | 07/05/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Shiva Rea seems to have an uncanny ability to find talent in unexpected places ~ Daphne Tse and Matt Pszonak for example, I hope we will hear more from them soon!



All the tracks on this CD speak of the beautiful and ever changing quality of the water element~the ebb and flow of the tides, water dancing on the rocks in a streambed, the low roar of a waterwall ~ now don't misunderstand, the only "water sounds" on this album are on the first track and they are brief ~ what I speak of here is a brilliant and artistic use of musical instruments such as drums and the sitar and even human voices to create the quality and the "spirit" if you will ~ of the water element, which is also represented in many of the poses in Vinyasa yoga.



In addition, if you place this Enhanced CD in your computer and download Quicktime Player there is an additional video clip of Shiva Rea's next workout DVD: Fluid Power; I think I speak for us all when I say that we can hardly wait for this one!

Thank you again, Shiva for all you do to make our lives rich and beautiful.

Sensual and Sacred
Rebecca Johnson | Washington State | 09/07/2006

"Shiva Rea has created a rhythmic escape with lush electronic textures and cleansing moods. I was surprised at the healing effects of this CD alone. Like Yoga, it seems to heal and cleanse you, refreshing your mind and opening the heart.



JALA is an energetic collection of twelve richly layered moments in time. You can escape into each track offering everything from soothing sitar to high-energy percussion.



Shiva Rea weaves the sensual and the sacred into an infusion of soul stirring sounds. The oceanic soundscapes are layered with vocals, ever changing rhythms, drums, sitar and vocals.

Great CD for Yoga Teachers

"Love this CD...I am a yoga instructor and use this in many of my classes. Great mix, and good for both a level 1 and/or more energetic class. Love the mix, energy and flow. Two great tracks at the end to use for savasana. Have received many compliments from students in class."
