Madi Das - WHAT ACCENT?

In this episode I get to speak with Madi Das, whose album "Mantra Americana" is nominated for a Grammy in the newly re-titled "Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album" category. Congratulations Madi Das! Born to an American mom and German dad, Madi Das grew up in the Vaishnava tradition of Bhakti Yoga. At age 7 he went to boarding school in India where he studied sacred chants, became fluent in Hindi, and made lifelong friends. Now living in Melbourne, when he's not sharing music with his community, he works in film production. In 2015, his debut album Bhakti Without Borders was nominated for a Grammy. Mantra Americana is his long-awaited follow up album.
