Path To Bliss

<a href="http://whiteswanrecords.bandcamp.com/album/path-to-bliss-2">Path To Bliss by Mercedes Bahleda</a> As a follow up to the solemn beauty of her debut release, Mercy Songs, Mercedes Bahleda offers a rocking kirtan album that is as beautiful to the ear as it is a blessing to the heart and mind. On Path To Bliss, a handful of New York City’s finest musicians – recording live in-studio and employing an eclectic arsenal of instruments ranging from cello and steel guitar to African kalimba and hang (pron. hung) drum – construct a sonic temple enabling Mercedes’ exquisite voice to truly shine. Applying dynamic, multi-textured arrangements to mantras and prayers learned from her Buddhist teachers, Mercedes and her co-collaborators have fashioned a rich collection of uplifting and inspirational music.
