Winter Solstice Gurduara and Rensabhai


Picture stolen from Snatam Kaur's blog

So this will be my last Winter Solstice Post. I only have the second half of the WS Rensabhai recording and Dharam has the first half, so I may extend this post later once I get it from him. Check back later.
Since Winter Solstice, we had our own Rensabhai here in Espanola which I was able to record in it's entirety and it came out really well so I'm really anxious to start posting some samples from it. Before I get to that though, I want to share these last few gems for Winter Solstice 2006 with you.

The first is from one of the morning Gurduaras after Sadhana. I'm singing the Shabd and two extremely talented Guitar player, Siri Vias Singh and Pritham Hari Singh are playing with me. Also Hargobind senior of the brothers Hargobind is on Tabla. It was so bliss full for me at the time to sing with such beautiful accompaniment, but I made a few mistakes which are hard for me to listen to on the recording, and my voice went off a few times. Also it's pretty distorted in a number places because I wasn't able to watch the levels on my laptop since I was singing. All the people that I have shared it with say they really like it though, so let me know what y'all think.

The second 2 tracks are Guru Nam Singh accompanied by Snatam Kaur from the Rensabhai. He got to play for the double time of his slot because the person scheluded after him wasn't feeling well and he played a number of really beautiful original devotional songs of his. It was so nice to get to hear him play for so long and to have Snatam sing with him. It really put me in a state of Anand.

The last track is extremely talented Siri Vias Singh playing a very peacefull chant from the Rensabhai. He's a blues guitarist and he usually plays his guitar in open D. He didn't do any slide for this, but it has just a twinge of a bluesy feel to it. Another very blissful track.

Hey, Sat Darshan,

I didn't realize that this pic included me, even though I viewed this page a few times. I am the one doing the Chor Sahib Seva. :-D.
