Album Review: No Stranger Here – Shubha Mudgal, Ursula Rucker, Business Class Refugees.
Uma equilibrada e rica mistura entre as sutilezas elegantes da tradição clássica indiana, a música ocidental orquestral reinventadas para a era moderna. Tudo isso somado a arte da palavra falada de Ursula Rucker que proporciona uma deliciosa sensação contemporânea e mistica.
Nascido em Allahabad, na Índia, Shubha Mudgal traz uma presença qualificada, ao misturar vocal, fusion, pop e Hindustani Khayal ao fundo. Refugiados da Classe Executiva são Patrick Sebag e Yotam Agam. Esses autores fornecem uma base mais contemporâneo, com percussão rítmica e magia eletrônico que ajusta o estágio para um caldeirão criativo de misturas suntuosos para qualquer fã de world music com um desejo ardente de invasão do Sul da Ásia. Estranho é o que não conhecemos! então escute e saiba mais sobre o album no link abaixo. http://nadabrahma.co.uk/kabir-inspired-cross-cultural-exploration-no-stranger-here-earthsync/
Este álbum é inspirado pela poesia escrita por Kabir, um poeta do movimento Bhakti (Século 16) que varreu toda a Índia com uma rebelião contra a ortodoxia religiosa, casta e distinções Brahmanic (Sumo Sacerdote) rituais. O movimento propagou amor, paz e harmonia, um movimento antigo que ainda tem relevância hoje, contra a prevalência mundial do fanatismo religioso ea ortodoxia de combustível comum que as guerras e tumultos.

Another fantastic album from one of my favourite record labels out there! … What can be classed as brilliance, No Stranger Hereintermixes diverse genres and music perspectives from at least three starkly different countries and cultures with deep secular grace, reiterating the timeless search for harmony, universal understanding and love.
Shubha Mudgal‘s rendition of the ancient poetry is the reference point for the poetry written by Ursula Rucker specifically for this album, and the cross-cultural global soundscape of the Business Class Refugees (Patrick Sebag & Yotam Agam) draw a deep, contemporary parallel.
This album is inspired by poetry written by Kabir, a poet of the Bhakti Movement (500 AD – 1700 AD) that swept across India as a rebellion against religious orthodoxy, caste distinctions and Brahmanic (High Priest) rituals. The movement propagated love, peace and harmony, an ancient movement that still has relevance today, against worldwide prevalence of religious bigotry and communal orthodoxy that fuel wars and unrest.
Lyrically, the track A Stranger Here / Pardesi is the pivot of the album’s concept: the poetry Shubha and Ursula render express being and feeling a stranger in this world, of being alone; not finding meaning, mooring or understanding. As prolifically expressed cross time by lovers, artists, saints and devotees – humanity is no stranger to spiritual emptiness, not belonging, intellectual questioning, and the contradiction of being a stranger in a familiar world.
Balancing the elegant subtleties of Indian classical tradition, Western orchestral music, rich bursts of electronica, and Rucker’sinsistent words, No Stranger Here flows from the universal sense of strangerhood, that mysterious alienation that haunts both our contemporary lives and echoes in centuries-old poems. “None of us are strangers to that feeling,” remarks Sonya Mazumdar, EarthSync CEO and producer. “Yet it is the very feeling of not belonging that highlights the intensity of love.”
