Nutone Artist on Puntamayo's first ever YOGA compilation

Putumayo World Music's upcoming release titled "Yoga" will feature Nutone artists Krishna Das, Wah!, and Sean Johnson and The Wild Lotus Band along with other renowned musicians from across the globe.

"Yoga" is Putumayo’s first CD release featuring songs selected to accompany yoga practice and serve as a relaxing soundtrack for daily life. With his extensive background as a yoga instructor and kirtan musician, Nutone artist Sean Johnson, founder of Wild Lotus Yoga studio in New Orleans, collaborated closely with Putumayo on this project. He suggested songs used in his classes and wrote the liner notes, including the glossary of yoga terms, to help create a better understanding of the practice of yoga and its relationship to music.

Other artists on the album include South Indian vocalist Susheela Raman with Kenyan singer Ayub Ogada, Indian/UK artist and producer Niraj Chag Costa Rican group Amounsulu, Swedish singer Yogini, Senegalese singer Ablaye Cissoko with German trumpeter Volker Goetze. Israeli/Chiliean collaboration The Lucknow Project, Bhutanese monk Lama Gyurme with French pianist Jean-Philippe Rykiel, and American kirtan artists Gaura Vani and As Kindred Spirits, Shantala, Ben Leinbach and Geoffrey Gordon, and Karnamrita Dasi. "Yoga" will be released September 14th.
