   The Ed Sheeran Of The Hare Krishna World

   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.
