BRILLIANT CONNECTIONS
Corina Bartra is one of the great pioneers of Afro-Peruvian jazz, combining the exciting rhythms of her native Peru with the brilliant jazz of her adopted American homeland. So it’s no surprise that when she turns her ever-questing mind towards spiritual music, she achieves another wonderful combination, this time chanting that combines Indian, Andean and American strains. It also marries music from defined traditions with others that are spiritual in nature but don’t conform to any particular orthodoxy. I can tell you Corina’s chanting work is literally enchanting. I believe her Chants from the Seeds of Bliss is the most-played CD in my collection!
–MARK FOGARTY, author of WENT TO SEE THE GYPSY.

Mantra is a very ancient technique for awakening the spiritual aspects of our being and Corina Bartra, with these two CD’s, establishes herself as conduit. Her music makes accessible significant chants and mantras into our everyday consciousness

The newer CD, Ecstatic Chants From The Infinite includes practical instructions for working with the mantras as well as explanations for the meanings. They’re quite wonderful to listen to on their own as well. There’s something so simple and yet profound in this music.
