from album No Stranger Here

NO STRANGER HERE IS INSPIRED BY THE POETRY OF
THE 16TH CENTURY INDIAN POET KABIR FROM THE
BHAKTI MOVEMENT (500-1700 AD) THAT SWEPT ACROSS
INDIA AS A REBELLION AGAINST RELIGIOUS ORTHODOXY
AND CASTE DISTINCTIONS, PROPAGATING PEACE,
HARMONY AND LOVE - AN ANCIENT MOVEMENT AS
RELEVANT NOW AS IT WAS THEN.
EXPRESSED ACROSS TIME BY LOVERS, ARTISTS,
SAINTS AND DEVOTEES, HUMANITY IS NO STRANGER
TO THE SEARCH FOR HIGHER GROUND, THE ECSTASY
AND PAIN OF EARTHLY OR DIVINE LOVE, OF BEING A
STRANGER IN A FAMILIAR WORLD, SEEKING
SUBLIMATION THROUGH ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.
WITH INDIVIDUAL SENSITIVITY, RESPECT AND DEEP
ARTISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR OWN AND
DIFFERENT CULTURES, SHUBHA MUDGAL,
URSULA RUCKER AND BUSINESS CLASS REFUGEES
COME TOGETHER IN DISTINCT DIVERSITY TO UNITE
WITH THE TIMELESS, SPIRITUAL VOICE OF HUMANITY.

spread the word, spread the love, spred the peace
