Snatam Kaur has emerged as today's most inspiring sacred singers. Born in the Sikh spiritual tradition and well versed in yoga and mantra chant, Snatam Kaur brings to the table a sense of lightness and purity. Her songs radiate with the listener, capturing their heart and lifting their soul. THE ESSENTIAL SNATAM KAUR features a collection of some of her most beautiful chants, showcasing the honey sweet nature of her voice. The songs were compiled from several of her earlier albums, offering a nice cross-section of her lush chant. The arrangements are generally on the soft side, with light tabla beat and bansuri flute mixed with a touch of drone and dreamy synthesized atmosphere. Great for fans and newcomers alike!

I first heard Snatam's music at a yoga class and was instantly hooked. Normally I try to tune out the background music as nine times out of ten it is painfully annoying or at the very least painfully repetitive.
This CD is essentially a "Best Of" CD and it's worth having. I listen to it all the time (not just for yoga) and I actually get a little sad when it's not "today's choice" at my yoga class. Amazing voice. Amazing talent. You'll love it.

This is one of my favorite CDs! The singing has that "from the Beyond" feeling. Inspired and calming, it invites one to let go of thinking, and rest in pure, natural being.

A friend took me to a Snatam Kaur concert a couple of years ago and I have been a huge fan ever since I listen to her chants every morning on the way to work and every evening on the way home. Am purchasing two more copies of "Essential Snatam Kaur" today for friends.
