The Track "Bolo Bolo" is taken from Susheela Raman's fantastic debut Album "Salt Rain" (2001). Listen and enjoy it.

Lyrics (English):
"Everybody chant together
The name of Shiva
The Ganges flows from his matted locks
Carrying the trident
He beats time on his drum
Rise to the sound of Shiva's name."

Lyrics (Hindi):
"Bolo Bolo Sab Mila Bolo On Nama Shiva
Om Nama Shiva Om Nama Shiva
Joota Jata Me Ganga Dharill
Thrisula Dari Damarubhajave
Dama Dama Dama Dama Damaru Bhaja
Khuujuta Om Nama Shiva."

Susheela Raman's first solo album "Salt rain" was an outstanding debut that won the BBC Best Newcomer Award 2002. She was also shortlisted for the UK Mercury Prize, - Britain's foremost reward to new artists with distinct creative ability -, thus becoming the first world music artist to figure for this prestigious award. "Salt Rain" is by far one of the best fusion albums you can get. The tracks are sung in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Sanskrit

As an artist, Susheela Raman continues to develop and explore issues of identity with new sounds that celebrate multiplicity. She draws her collaborators from across Europe, Asia, and Africa: Cameroonian bassist Hilaire Penda, Guinea-Bissau born percussionist Djanuno Dabo, American drummer Marque Gilmore, British-Asian tabla player Aref Durvesh, and of course British guitarist and producer Sam Mills are at the heart of this album as they were on "Salt Rain".

Susheela: "We were lucky to collaborate with some unique musicians who live mostly in London and Paris but are of diverse origins: Guinea Bissau, Cameroun, India, Romania, France, Greece, Egypt, Kenya, America, and Spain. Any record is a meeting of many minds and, now more than ever, it is networks of people, not just individuals, that spark new and exciting work. Everyone brought their own special energy to the music and I am very proud of what we all worked together to create."
