From San Francisco, this Californian-meets-India group played a very relaxed mystic blend of music, alternating instrumental cuts with vocal songs. Adding instruments such as sarod, dholak and tablas to their regular guitar/bass/drums line-up Shanti created an exotic, rootsy aura, never mind the spiritual lyrics. Zakir Hussain also played with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead on his Rolling Thunder album.

just found this album at a thrift store - it is unreal. Love it... great grooves. I knew when I looked at the group photo on the back of the album that there was a chance it would be good. Its seriously one of my favorite albums now. Surprised me!
