David Newman - Lotus Feet
 Lotus Feet A Kirtan Revolution was born out of a vision to express the healing power of Indian devotional chanting, known as Kirtan, in a contemporary western musical context. The goal was to both respect the chanting tradition while staying true to the sensibilities of the western singer songwriter idiom.
On Lotus Feet, ancient chants are rich with catchy hooks and evocative melodies. Pop song structures are laced with Sanskrit mantras accented by English lyrics. Acoustic guitars are propelled by world rhythms, hip hop loops, dance grooves and ambient textures. The chants embody a universal language of love while the music strikes a familiar chord in the western ear and psyche. Lotus Feet A Kirtan Revolution offers a gift from the heart of the east on the wings of the west as cosmic sonic nourishment for the body and soul. | Musicians
