Spirit Voyage

Ocean’s songs and chants carry you on a gentle tide of harp, acoustic guitar, cello, bansuri flute, tablas and the delicate interweaving of Gurmukhi mantra with English, and Spanish lyrics.  Mirabai Ceiba is a partnership between Angelika Baumbach and Markus Sieber, whose perfect union is revealed as they weave in and out of their songs with the lightest of touches.  Angelika’s crystalline voice floats above the music as she plucks delicately on her harp.  Markus plays acoustic guitar with a bright Spanish style, and his gentle voice adds a rich depth to the music.   Thomas Barquee’s expert production showcases their music in this album that is the perfect companion for yoga, relaxation, meditation and healing.

Miirabai Ceiba is a musical project created by Angelika Baumbach from Mexico (vocal and harp) and Markus Sieber from Germany (vocal and guitar). They perform a compilation of original songs in Spanish and English as well as newly arranged chants from different traditions of the world and Gurmukhi Mantras. The name Mirabai Ceiba expresses the influences of both India and Native Latin America. The Ceiba is the sacred tree of Latin America, where these trees are never cut but are allowed to grow very tall.

"We wish our music could be like that kind of tree, with roots deep in the Mother Earth and branches extending wide into Father Sky. Mirabai is for us the wandering, the devotion, the inspiration in all the different aspects of divinity." - Angelika and Markus
