|    The Ed Sheeran Of The Hare Krishna World    |

      From: musicdish@gmail.com              Hollywood sound machine meets Eastern theology in Cyril Wohrer's new album,       "Summer Krishna" dubbing him the 'Ed Sheeran' of the Hare Krishna mantra.              An L.A. native, Wohrer's musical influences include Lenny Kravitz, Prince, and       the Eurythmics. Joining forces with Al Walser, producer of 2017 GRAMMY® Award       Winning album, for his debut album, Wohrer will release a unique sound many       audiences will find        uplifting and memorable.              Amidst the evolving sounds and artists of today's popular music, Wohrer finds       his voice in the electric pop beats and rhythms that are surely to unite       strangers and neighbors, and draw long-time Bhakti enthusiasts.              It is the melody heard on the radio and in trendy clubs through which Wohrer       is able to captivate traditional mantra lovers and first-time listeners with       modern Hare Krishna pop sounds in both French and English lyrics.              With more Kirtan artists redefining the traditional Indian orchestration of       Sanskrit mantras, Wohrer is setting the trend of how popular music will merge       with ancient hymns.              'Summer Krishna' is an homage to both the Hare Krishna mantra and to George       Harrison, who during his career as a Beatle and a solo artist, expanded the       American palette to include Indian classical music and Hindu practices,       establishing both elements as        a constant in his music. Harrison gets the credit for being the first Western       person to have massively popularized the Hare Krishna mantra on the radio with       songs such as "My Sweet Lord."              Taking a cue from Harrison, Wohrer has diversified his musical range and       versatility, offering a sound for all Bhakti listeners.              "Since the 1960s, most people have associated the Bhakti tradition with the       hippie counter-culture. I wanted to change this trend. I want to show, through       my music, that anyone can be devotional and chant Hare Krishna in a       contemporary style. Krishna and        Bhakti are universal."- Wohrer.              Currently touring, Wohrer is delivering a message many of his fans and Bhakti       adepts are calling "a pure joy!" It is through his influence, artistry, and       his shared connection with other Kirtan artists, that Wohrer will not only       open doors for those        seeking mindfulness, but also awaken a higher level of consciousness in many       others.              Website: http://cyrilsays.com       Music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD8PDtRrqEDWY-xv7UUS-dA              Source: http://www.mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=201289              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
