Surrender CD review in Yoga Journal, U.S 2005
Kirtan singers Satyaa and Pari direct listeners through a tranquil set of original and traditional songs and powerful chants on their fourth album, Surrender. For years, the married couple has performed bhajans and mantras at various yoga centers and kirtan festivals throughout Europe and the United States, such as this year´s Rainbow Spirit Festival in Germany. But here, on Surrender, the two have focused their musical talents to sing of peace and gratitude, balancing Satyaa´s deep, almost seductive vocals with sharp flutes and the bouzouki, a Greek stringed instrument. The original tracks set meditation in motion, while mid-album songs, such as “Mahi Maine Govind, “Tumi Bhaka Re Mana”, and Hare Murare” feature djembe and tablas for African-and India-inspired dance rhythms…With this album, the couple makes a strong statement of spiritual surrender and love for the Divine.
