“Politics and people will let you down and life can be very disappointing. At such a time, when you hear Krishna’s flute… how can you resist?” – Cheb I Sabbah.
“Live at Rudra Mandir” is the Kirtaniyas’s first live album recorded on February 02/15/2013 at Rudra Mandir in Berkeley, California.
The project was produced by the late Cheb I Sabbah who mixed and supervised mastering of the recording and was his last musical project.
Kirtaniyas are ever grateful for the opportunity to sing the glorious names of the Divine in a traditional form, using melodies and rhythms taken from the ancient Bhakti lands such as Vrindavan, India and Navadipa, Mayapura, India.
