Excellent! Opa! Bravo!
author: Van Casey (vancasey@owt.com)
Mirabai is one MAJOR artist. This is the first CD I've heard which is geared toward meditation but does not rely heavily on repetition to "numb the mind". The musicianship is excellent throughout, the material varied and highly evocative of the Great Mystery that surrounds us all. Excellent use of traditional Greek, Middle Eastern and other genres as well as a fluid and highly accessible jazzlike genre in one tune. You gotta get this CD even if you don't meditate!

Start your day on a divine note...
author: Joan Logghe
If you want to start your day on a divine note, cue up Santa Fe singer Mirabai's This Love.
Her renditions of the mystics poets tune me up and propel me between the cracks of the daily into the territory of Rumi, Ghalib, Lalla, and Mirabai, this singer's namesake.
Her musical lineage, trained in eastern and western traditions, brings us the intimacy of a jazz club, the mystery of inside the tent, and the professionalism of the large stage, creating her own genre.
This music is in the key of awe and can serve as background or foreground, if you listen to the words or meditate with the sound.

Powerful, soulful music
author: Laura Ellis
This beautiful and inspired CD has a mesmerizing and transcendent quality consistent with Rumi's writings. There is an immediacy to Mirabai's singing that is both palpable and stirring. She gets way down deep to draw out what she does. As I listen to the CD over and over, I continue to hear new elements in her delivery and in the jazzy, percussive music played by outstanding artists.
