This recording expresses the strength and vitality of the Spirit of Khalsa. There is a balance of Soldier and Saint in the strong vocals and in the up-beat cadence of these melodies. Pritpal has captured a feeling fearlessness to take us all the way to our personal victory in our own lives.
Perhaps there is no other recording by a person of non-Indian decent which expresses so well the strength and vitality of the legacy of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth guru of the Sikhs. That legacy of Khalsa is captured both in the meaning of these selections of verse and in the strident arrangements and the steel-steady delivery of the vocals.
The ground-breaking arrangements using Western instruments provide a fresh backdrop for these well-known compositions about the valor and virtue of Khalsa. The medley of four selections progresses through a range of feelings from reflective to spirited and grows in intensity and strength. Then the final track returns the listener to feelings of release and inner peace.
