A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Mercy Now: Srikalogy and "Give Me Your Mercy (Hey Govinda Dubstep Remix)"
A little change of pace for today's random tune comes in the form of a dubstep remix of a Srikalogy tune called Give Me Your Mercy (Hey Govinda Dubstep Remix). Srikalogy, along with Srikala, are the performing names of Srikala Kerel Roach, a DJ. MC, producer and percussionist who is the son of West Indian parents and who grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. Influenced early by hip hop, reggae, dub, and R&B, he expanded his range to include rock, blues, pop and jazz. At 18 seeking to end a cycle of self-destructive behavior, he entered a monastic life at an ashram on the Lower East Side of New York City which was steeped in the Bhakti yoga tradition and transcendental sound vibration. He transitioned out of monastic life after 6 years and began studying audio engineering and began releasing albums in 2011. He has also collaborated with other groups, notably the Earthrise SoundSystem. He appears regularly in New York City with his jazz funk fusion band, The Flowdown, He seeks to bring hope and inspiration with his music, culminating in a message to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of life. Give Me Your Mercy (Hey Govinda Dubstep Remix) can be found on his 2014 album Kirtan Sessions: Volume One.
