Mantra

Mantra music is a sacred and meditative genre originating from ancient Indian Vedic traditions, characterized by repetitive, hypnotic melodies and rhythms, often featuring instruments like the tanpura, tabla, and harmonium. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, mantra music gained popularity as a spiritual and cultural movement, reflecting the era's countercultural and New Age interests. This genre is deeply rooted in Hindu and Buddhist devotional practices, aiming to evoke spiritual awakening and inner peace. Distinct from other Eastern spiritual music, mantra music is marked by its use of Sanskrit and vernacular languages, complex ragas, and emphasis on vocal techniques like alap and jhala. As a precursor to contemporary kirtan and world music, mantra has influenced a wide range of genres, from ambient and chillout to new age and yoga music. Its unique blend of spiritual intensity and musical sophistication continues to captivate audiences worldwide, offering a sonic gateway to introspection and transcendence.
