Krishna Das
Krishna Das is one of the most popular singers of Indian devotional music in the world. Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga's "rock star." With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category. He released a string of well-received albums including "PILGRIM HEART", "BREATH OF THE HEART" and "DOOR OF FAITH," the former featuring the vocals of KD fan Sting, and the latter two both produced by Rick Rubin and utilizing, at the producer's request, a palette of traditional Indian instrumentation. KD is clear that he is first and foremost a devotee, with the sharing of his practice a profound act of his faith. Nevertheless, KD has become an iconic music presence, drawing in other artists, including Sting, Madonna, Mike D, Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, and Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, some of whom are yoga devotees, while others are simply moved by the power of the music.
Call and Response Special Edition Figuring Out What Works“It's interesting because in the old days, before radio, Newspapers were theonly way people got their news, and to do that, they had to go out and get it inthe morning or get it delivered. So, whatever happened from one morning tothe next morning, twenty-four hours, was nobody knew, right? Then cameradio, and I was reading about how much it changed life. It completelychanged the world, radio, because now you could go like this and hear whatwas happening as it's happening, reported every hour and this and that. Now,it's like we've got a chip in our brain, and we're getting twenty-four seven,three sixty-five, you know?I don't know if that's useful in any way whatsoever, but each one of us has tofigure out what works for us, you know? But don't-- I wouldn't beat yourselfup for not reading the news. There's other things you can beat yourself upfor, I'm sure. Much more juicy and much more real and much more, youknow, hurtful.” – Krishna Das
