Description
Steve Tibbetts and Ch÷ying Drolma have released a new recording, called Selwa, which expands on the work they began in that first groundbreaking album.
Selwa (which can mean "luminous", "clear," or "awake") is an album with 11 tracks, but it unfolds as a single, unified expression. Tibbetts' instrumental work reflects the spiritual and meditative nature of Drolma's songs and chants, and grows out of his own long-standing interest in the sacred music traditions of north and south Asia. If that sounds like a recipe for yet another album of New Age noodling, Selwa will be a bracing surprise.
Ch÷ying Drolma practices a form of Vajrayana Buddhism that involves cutting through the various physical and spiritual obstacles to enlightenment (the title Ch÷ means "cutting"), and that practice can take the form of a fairly vigorous meditation, often undertaken in provocative settings like graveyards. Tibbetts approaches this sort of source material with an uncommon humility and a healthy amount of respect.
