Dave Stringer has been profiled in Time and Billboard magazines as one of the principal innovators of the new American kirtan movement. Kirtan is a practice of rhythmic call-and-response mantra chanting that has become popular as a live music happening in hundreds of yoga studios across the USA. One of the most compelling and unorthodox musicians to arise from the yoga community worldwide in the last several years, Stringer integrates the tablas, finger cymbals, harmonium and tamboura of the traditional Hindustani style with exquisite vocal harmonies and the decidedly untraditional accents of lap steel, banjo, horns and violin. Call-and-response kirtan with a world music vibe accented by lap steel, sitar, horns and gypsy violin. 'Mala' (in Sanskrit, a string of beads, used like a rosary, to facilitate concentration on a mantra) has the same intentions as its predecessor, Japa, but the melodies and modes it explores reflect a deeper Eastern influence.
