The debut album of Vas, Sunyata is a groundbreaking effort that marries the voice and world percussion in wholly unique and exciting ways. Sunyata, a Sanskrit word meaning "emptiness that is the source of creation," brims with spiritual fervor through a union of sound and musical intuition. The wonderfully unique result is an album of sinewy, sensuous music that is as fresh as it gets. Ellis is a master with percussion, creating world beat grooves that will have all but the most exhausted wanting to groove with it.
