The Rishis Limited Edition CD World Peace Chants Seán and Hans collaborate alternately as a duo (DevaDeva) and in a larger ensemble (The Rishis). World Peace Chants features recordings of both. This recording seeks to heal the conflict between religions by celebrating the harmony between all spiritual traditions through music. These original songs with lush instrumentation feature chants that honor the Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Yoruba, Vodun, and Native American spiritual traditions, and the sacredness of all spiritual paths. This limited edition CD was especially created to accompany the labyrinth walks at the Parliament of the World's Religions Meeting held in Barcelona, Spain in July of 2004. The songs are a prayer for spiritual awakening and world peace- for people of all religions and cultures to walk together in beauty.
