<strong> </strong><strong><strong>The "Mini Street Album"</strong> </strong></p>
<p>
<strong> <strong> </strong><strong><strong>Our first EP!!</strong> <strong> </strong></strong></strong></p>
<p>
<strong> </strong></p>
<p>
<strong> Prahl'ad and Jyoshna began to work briefly together in London in 2008</strong>, and realised they shared a similar passion for the profound devotional/social songs of the Indian composer/spiritual master Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. But since then, they only had few opportunities to meet and play together as they lived in different countries.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong> They now seek to create an intimate, western acoustic interpretation of these songs through their newly formed band:</strong></p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong> and together, will embark on this EP called </strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong> " Who else will? " </strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong> </strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
These songs are sung in <strong>Bengali and English.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>They understand the challenges</strong> involved: that of understanding the inner meaning of the Bengali lyrics when their mother tongue is English and French; pronouncing the Bengali properly; practising the songs while residing in different countries, however, they are very committed to this project and want it to succeed. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This <strong><u>EP or Mini Street album </u></strong>is their first endeavour to record and share the sounds of this musical collaboration - a personal interpretation of these beautiful songs - that have been chosen because they resonate with the things they value most, the causes they fight for, and longings for a better, more just world.</p>

To remain consistent with their musical universe, they attach great importance to the sound work that will materialize their artistic sensitivities. That's why they choose to work with the sound engineer <u><strong><a href="http://www.flukeproductions.com/music/" target="_blank">LUKE HENDERSON at FLUKEPRODUCTIONS STUDIO in London</a></strong></u></p>

<strong> Because<strong><strong> the beauty and power of </strong></strong>these songs can heal us from within, and that can only be positive in these difficult times. </strong></p>

<p>
Both of us have had experiences in our lives, where, on listening to these devotional songs we have been uplifted, and healed from within. These songs are beautiful and for everyone, so to fully appreciate them some of us would like to hear them performed with local instruments and in an intimate, acoustic style. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<em><strong>Regardless of one's origin, these songs open one's heart and bring joy, energy and inspiration</strong></em>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This is why we want to share these songs with you, so you too can enjoy the beauty and the limitless joy. </p>
