Rajamani,
born and raised in TamilNadu, India,
is a renowned world music artist who
is credited for keeping alive: the
ancient vanishing Tamil folk music
and Culture, and the nomadic and devotional
musical styles of India. Music critics
have distinguished Rajamani as an "artist
who has redefined Gypsy Music by taking
it back to India (homeland of the Roma
Gypsy) to its original roots" and "literally
destroying borders."
Music is ultimately
of the heart and spirit and thus it is
said it is the universal language uniting
all living beings on earth, universe
and beyond. Music is also everchanging
as culture and humans are also everchanging. But
the spirit always remains the same.
The music of Rajamani
is of so called many traditions and not
of any one tradition. Thus it unites
all human beings spiritually.stripping
one of all illusions to lead you back
into your heart and soul. It
is a sound that is at once foreign and
familiar. Drawing upon ancient Eastern
traditions, his music resonates in a
deep place within its listeners, while
remaining accessible and satisfying to
the Western ear.
Rajamani's live shows
are spiritually uniting and melodically
soothing, rhythmically energizing, technically
breathtaking and historically educating.
Rajamani's music crosses many cultural,
religious, and musical boundaries. Its
spiritual essence allows people from
different ethnic backgrounds and belief
systems to connect to their own true
spiritual identity
The sounds and rhythms
that flow naturally out of Rajamani are
an essence of his own diary of his life
thru birth, travel, education and spirituality. The
musical styles range from India, Middle
East, European Roma, Latin, Africa, to
North American folk, and also includes
music of the nomads of India. These Indian
nomadic tribes stretch all the way from
the South of India into the Middle East
such as the Dom and into the European
Rom (also derogatorily known as Gypsies)
tribes.
Rajamani has created
his own music by arranging traditional
folk songs chronicling their historic
path and by adding new compositions not
found anywhere else on the globe. |
