Traditional mantra music continues to find new audiences, and Radhika Das is contributing to that movement through his new live album, The Heart Album.

The project presents ancient musical traditions through a contemporary live experience. At its center is the idea that devotional music can remain rooted in its origins while still connecting naturally with listeners who may have little previous experience with mantra singing.

By bringing these sounds into modern performance and media spaces, Das is helping create another pathway for audiences to discover the musical and reflective qualities of mantra.

NewsBreak highlights the release and the story behind The Heart Album as Radhika Das continues to share this distinctive musical tradition.
