Eddy is a unique kirtan artist, he combines his spanish gypsy guitar style with the ancient mantras, creating a very soulful and uplifting type of kirtan. While living outdoors in Hawaii for 7 years, he studied yoga and music everyday. After practicing japa meditation in the forests for 4 years, kirtan became the obvious and most natural thing for him to do. Eddy is accompanied by Gabriel on spanish guitar, Nathan on cello, and Steve on tablas. They are sort of a “kitrtan quartet”. Together they strive to create music that transcends space and time.
“Kirtan” is the ancient practice of call and response chanting. The chants are called “Mantras”. The mantras represent universal energies in the form of sounds. These universal energies already lie within us, so when we chant the mantras, we awaken these universal energies. When we stir these energies, they purify our mind and subtle body (the space between the atoms) and leave one feeling clear and refreshed. A person does not need to know about yoga or kirtan to receive the benefits of mantras.
