What Kirtan Lovers Say About Kamini's Kirtans
“I am always mesmerized by Kamini’s music. She is a custodian of a long lineage of Indian Classical Music, more specifically devotional music. It’s a blessing that she is keeping the traditions alive and passing on the gift of music to us in these modern times. She has very masterfully created so many songs/chants for us to connect with the divine. Her artistic abilities transcend the devotional music genre; she is truly a world musician. I high recommend her music to relax and go deeper into our conversations with spirit.”
“I love Kamini’s beautifully melodic, soothing and unique voice. Her sonic compositions and vocal approach takes the listener on a wonder journey. Her music resonates in my soul and moves me. That is the point of music, right? To invoke emotion and passion. Kamini delivers.”
“Kamini’s voice is one of a kind and CELESTIAL.. her style of engaging the audience – allows non-singers like us who meditate – experience the majic and bliss of soul stirring kirtans – our hearts and souls get uplifted each time we attend her session.. We are so delighted to have these opportunities to attend her kirtans – thanks a ton from the bottom of our hearts..”
"I met Kamini through a mutual friend as I was looking to do an album yoga and meditation music. We hit it off instantly. I was blown away by her lineage and depth of study. She took the songs I had composed and transformed them into something amazing. Her timing and vocal ability are both top notch for the Kirtan music genre. I look forward to working with her again in the future."
"You can tell when people have a passion for what they do - Kamini sincerely has a passion for sharing her voice with the world. I brought her music with me on my travels to India and introduced my friends to it - they LOVED her rhythmic, soothing voice in traditional chants - she has such a fantastic range. Kamini is a superb musician, singer, and of course, friend! <3"
“Kamini is an amazing musician with such a soulful voice. I am always transported to a place of peace and joy when I attend her Kirtan events.”
