NEWS Kamal M. Engels’ production of The Gyuto Monks of Tibet Pure Sounds (recorded, mixed and mastered at ArtOfAudio studios) has been nominated for a Grammy Award in 2011, in the category of Best Traditional World Music Album.
Kamal produced the album in early 2010 after inviting the Gyuto Monks for a recording session on Kamal's latest album Zen Mama. It contains a rarely performed and never before recorded puja Jis Pai Bhum Chung or the Baby Puja. The album was taken up by New Earth Records for release and the label's creative directors Waduda and Bhikkhu submitted it to the Grammys.

The good news came early December that Pure Sounds was nominated together with four other contenders including previous Grammy winners Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté. Maureen Fallon, who is the coordinator of the Gyuto House in Australia, the Gyuto Monks, Kamal and everyone at New Earth Records are very excited about this prestigious acknowledgement and are looking forward to Feb 13 when the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards are held in the USA. |
