Mirabai Ceiba is an angelic musical vehicle that is the product of Angelika Baumbach and Markus Sieber. The ceiba is the sacred tree of Mexico and the music on A Hundred Blessings is saturated with a deep sense of gratitude and love that is a fusion of the Kundalini path mantras and Native Latin America which honors nature and the experience of the sacred in all of us.
Baumbach’s voice is the leading instrument here carried by Sieber’s harmonies and acoustic guitar. The songs reflect the peaceful provinces of Mexico and India while also embracing the sweet nectar of Gurmukhi mantras. The music on this album is sung in English with Baumbach’s peaceful Latin American dialect and includes universal themes of love that are associated with nature, wholistic spirituality, Christianity and native folklore. The music is essentially vocal driven that is not call and response chanting, but one does feel the pull to want to sing along with Baumbach’s incredibly light inflections and perfect harmonies. There are ten tracks here and they are all soft, ethereal, sweet and touching. This recording will appeal to almost everyone. It is a spiritual album with a far-reaching affect that has the calming impact of a lullaby style, along with the celebratory feeling of gratitude. Most of the melodies are Kundalini-based, inspiring those who are familiar with that path to close their eyes and connect to the feelings associated with the heart opening wider and wider. In my opinion, the Kundalini influence on some of these ballads or chants is wonderful, gentle and inviting. The best way to describe this record is to say that it is “warm” like a fire on a cold mountain. I highly recommend this album to all yogi practitioners of any path and world music enthusiasts everywhere. It will open the window of your heart with effortless tears and unconditional love. mirabaiceiba.com
