Kirtan: Sean Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band
New Orleans mantra musicians Sean Johnson and The Wild Lotus Band are a critically acclaimed kirtan trio appreciated equally for the spiritual depth and dynamic musicality of their sound. Yoga Journal has praised the band, “A joy to listen to whether you’re a yogi or anyone who appreciates wildly creative music.” Yoga Chicago says, "Their music will ignite the world...a hybrid of East and West that will bring joy to your heart and get your body boogieing." Sean and the band's latest album Devaloka was released by Nettwerk/Nutone Music- home of Sarah McLaughlin, Barenaked Ladies, Krishna Das, Jai Uttal and many other great artists. The band’s unique music evocatively blends ancient eastern mantras with western musical taste, passionate vocals, funky grooves, and dreamy melodies. Their innovative approach to chant music transcends genres—shades of rock, jazz, funk, choral, Indian, Irish, Middle Eastern, and folk styles merge effortlessly with the magic of the mantras. Yoga City NYC says, “Their music is capable of being energetic, grounding, mellow, tender, sweet- eerie, rapturous and blissful all at once.”
