Be Now HereIt’s not entirely of this world, or as I wrote on Instagram: “This has a deeply rooted sense of eternity to it. I just re-watched the full-length; it’s like a journey to a different place altogether.”
It’s a mash-up, if you will, of three different songs, “Nave Gurudasya”, “Falta di Karta”, and “Labaremú”, performed by singer (and bassist) Ganavya Doraiswamy and Singer and simbing player Mû Mbana.

Nave Gurudasya/Falta di Karta/Labaremú: feat. Mû Mbana
I met master musician and griot Mû Mbana once. After singing together one warm, dark night in Barcelona, we decided that I was to ever return to the country, we would try to sing together again. This, is that take. "Nave Gurudasya" is a song written by Sant Tukaram in the 17th century. It speaks of the angst of living in a materialistic world with a mind that seeks to surpass such concerns. The poet sings of struggle to keep afloat in the ocean of samsāra, or family-life. Mû, a master musician from Guinea-Bissau, sings of things past and present as he plays the Simbi.
