Shanti, the Sanskrit word for peace, graces this album as both its title and its content. Snatam Kaur's exquisite, soothing chants evoke an inner and outer sense of peace. The subtle instrumentation enhances this experience. Rhythmic tablas beautifully support the vocals. Piano, sitar, santour and flute melodies add a delightful instrumental element. The result is a luminous successor to her critically acclaimed album Prem.
