“In Nine Islands, the Mayapuris take us on a fascinating kirtan journey through nine distinct musical styles. There is however one thing that shines through all the tracks: The always new spiritual dimension that touches the heart and stirs the soul. Amazing talent, energetic and at times deeply contemplative, and perhaps most important: highly infectious in a good way. Definitely recommended hearing – not only for the already convinced but also for those seeking a genuine kirtan experience, where one can touch the Divine, as if one hits a live wire and gets spiritually charged.”

“The rains have returned and the parched earth will live again. When Krishna left the gopis it was as if their bodies became like dried up lakes. When they saw him again they eagerly drank his beauty with their eyes. Listening to the Mayapuri’s new album we can finally live again, drinking the nectar with our ears. The nine years of recording drought from this super-group is over with the monsoon rains of “9 Islands”. Krishna has returned to the Gopi‘s and the Mayapuri’s have returned the flow of nectar to our ears.”
