His signature blending of ancient Tibetan singing bowls with bells, guitars, percussion, double kalimba, gongs, and vocalic chants, his brooding compositions soothe fans across the globe. Xumantra's previous work has been commended by the Yoga Journal, Massage Magazine, the NAPRA ReView, and the New Times. His third album, Golden Portal, was released to critical review in spring 2000.
