about

Kindred Souls is a new album led by Adrian Freedman featuring international musicians from five continents.

The ‘Kindred Souls’ are musicians that Adrian has encountered and collaborated with on his travels around the world. Musicians like him who have been drawn to world music from various traditions and cultures, especially from the worlds of devotional music, medicine music and music of spiritual traditions.

These collaborators include Eosh and Ema from the Japanese group Yurai, playing didgeridoo and Chinese erhu; Adriano Machado from Brazil who plays the North African Bendir; Adnan al-Mari from Syria on saz; Neo-shamans Darpan from Australia and Kuauhtli from Mexico; young virtuoso handpan player Pavel Sedlacek from the Czech Republic; singers Ayla Schafer and Susie Ro from the UK; Maureenji from Ibiza; Tao from Turkey and Yao from Japan; Elina Rodevic and Sigmund Vatvedt from Norway on violin and dilruba; Ravi Freeman on West African Kora; Hiroki Okano on kalimba, Arjun Magee on Indian dholak, Misha Mullov Abbado on double bass, Sam Lee on shruti and Nick Barber keyboards and programming. The album also features a unique duet between a Nightingale and the shakuhachi flute.

The Kindred Souls project is a celebration of music as the universal language of the heart, transcending time and space and cultural boundaries. It explores questions about the musician’s quest for identity and expression within healing and sacred music traditions, and about finding the balance between respecting tradition whilst allowing innovation to flow. It gives a platform for established world music artists as well as young musicians and others waiting for a wider platform to share.

about

Adrian Freedman Devon, UK

Adrian Freedman is a master of the shakuhachi, bamboo Zen flute of Japan. His music is heartfelt and full of subtle dynamics which conjure an atmosphere of rarefied peace, with a deeply healing sense of spaciousness, pristine clarity and delicate beauty. The scope of his music is diverse, including songs was well as instrumental music, but an ineffable sense of the sacred is retained throughout. ... more

I heard a few of the songs from this album at a sacred sound healing retreat. My favourite tracks are Que Florezca La Luz and Nuestro Mundo. Absolutely stunning music I never get tired of listening. Dj Rise
