Universal Taal Project | Shivashankar and Prathna E.P



"Taal or rhythm cycle represents the universal rhythms of nature and life within us and all around us. Music beyond definitions or boundaries, crossing many cultures and sounds. A unifying force that connects all people as one in the music ."
Ranvir Singh Verma (Universal Taal Project)


My big bro Dj Soundar from Paris, introduced me to the Intergalactik Desi Vibes of Anglo-Indian bassman Ranvir Singh Verma aka Universal Taal Project and his collective of talented musicians. Ranvir is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, producer and (re)mixer with a unique blend of alternative Asian electronica... 
Next thing I know is that I found myself listening to their fresh & smashing 4-track E.P Shivashankar & Prathna...ballistik bass lines, massive dubstep & dnb grooves, original arrangements and Eastern soul-full-ness vocals: these vibes will be greatly appreciated by the Almighty Lord Shiva up there on the Kailash!fo sho!!!
In other words, it's pure raw audio powa triggering ancestral mystikz!

The PNG Human Rights Film Festival promotes greater respect, protection and fulfilment of human rights for all. It creates a forum for debate to empower the audience with the understanding that personal commitment can make a difference to end discrimination. The festival brings to life human rights stories. It challenges each individual to empathize with the most vulnerable and discriminated against in our societies, especially victims of human rights violations, and supports justice for all people."

[lyrics]
VISION SAGRADA
La Madre Tierra elevo su deseo de crear hasta el punto de la vida
Generosa de su vientre broto verde vida
Como una madre que no dstingue entre sus hijos
No habia distinción de existencias
Todo era sagrado y todo era bello
Todo tenia un sentido.
El ave que vuela, la piedra que descanza al fondo del río,
La estrella, el tronco o la flor
obras perfectas de una misma creación
parte de una misma danza.
Entonces no habia que pensar mucho, solo había que sentir
Habia que vivir eso era todo y bastaba
Acaso no vez la energía que mora en todas las cosas?
No vez la sabiduría que nos une a todos con el todo
Pero el hombre creyendose grande
Renego de su madre, de origen, su naturaleza
Olvido al animal, la tierra, los frutos, el misterio y el instinto
Dejo de ser parte de todo para convertirse en dueño de nada
Vacio sus ojos y levanto la mano
Renegó de la Diosa para autoproclamarse Dios
Su mente lo exilio del paraiso.
(Kynis)
