Lokah's groundbreaking debut CD, The Ivy Ceiling, bridges the spiritual with the modern, the eclectic with influences of electronica, funk, rock and pop; and the upbeat with the serene. Collaborations on The Ivy Ceiling include: Sting, Russell Simmons, and Roderick & Anisa Romero of Sky Cries Mary. The collective creation and vision of two artists -- Sri Michael and Uma Nanda Saraswati - The Ivy Ceiling beautifully merges the ancient Indian art of Kirtan with contemporary musical styles of the 21st century, fusing East and West in a melodic tapestry of epic proportions. The ten track CD blends Sanskrit mantras and highly textured beats in a cross-cultural expanse of sound. The Ivy Ceiling features the vocal styling of Sting on the track, Ma Durga and a soulful spoken word introduction by Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons. In addition, Roderick and Anisa Romero of the Seattle-based underground band, Sky Cries Mary, are featured on backup vocals throughout the compilation.
