Voice of the Esraj
by Benjy Wertheimer
Benjy Wertheimer's follow-up
CD to Soul of the Esraj is another stunning tribute to the
19 stringed Indian instrument, the esraj. The compositions
unite ancient sacred text with classical Indian ragas to create
an inspiring, relaxing and meditative mood.
Benjy is an award winning songwriter, vocalist, composer and multi-talented
instrumentalist (playing tablas, congas, esraj, guitar and keyboards). The
addition of background chanting, bansuri bamboo flute, cello and flowing
vocals, lends to a deeply resonating sound, within which one can find a place
of refuge. Perfect for quieting the soul as well as the mind, for meditation,
and peaceful yoga asana practice. Features Steve Gorn on bamboo flute and
vocals by Heather Wertheimer.
"When I listen to Benjy play the esraj, it transports me beyond the
beyond." - John Friend
"Voice of the Esraj is an endless stream of musical rasa that opens
your whole being in a healing, spontaneous way . . ." - Shiva
