Oliver Rajamani
Oliver Rajamani (King of Pearls) a native of TamilNadu, India, is a renowned world music artist who is credited for keeping alive: the ancient Tamil folk music and culture, the nomadic and devotional musical styles of India. Music critics have distinguished Rajamani as Òan artist who has redefined Roma/Gypsy Music by taking it back to India (homeland of the Roma/Gyspy) to its original roots and literally destroying borders.
Rajamanis music 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 foreigners ear.
Rajamanis shows are spiritually uniting and melodically soothing, rhythmically energizing, technically breathtaking and historically educating. RajamaniÕs 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 music and rhythms that flow naturally out of Rajamani are an essence of his own diary of his life through birth, educations and spirituality. Rajamani has created his own musicical sound by arranging traditional folk songs chronicling their historic path by adding new compositions not found anywhere else on the globe.
