Amritakripa has been chanting for twelve years under the guidance and inspiration of Holy Mother, Mata Amritanandamayi. She is enormously grateful to and has enjoyed chanting with such pioneer artists as Bhagavandas, Krishna Das, Wah and David Stringer. 'Moving prayer' in the form of sacred dance has been Amrita's love and practice since 1994. Her desire to combine sacred dance and bhajan opened the door for a wonderful collaboration with Robbi Robb, founder of Tribe After Tribe and lead singer of Three Fish.
During Robbi's formative musical years, he was exposed to Tibetan chanting, East Indian music and tribal African rhythms as well as the contemporary music of that time. Tribe After Tribe have been called the pioneers of Afro-acid rock, blending African dance rhythms with rock music. In 1998 Robb's studies led him to the decision to immerse himself in sacred music. Within a week of making this decision, the Holy Mother brought Robbi and Amrita together, beginning an effortless and symbiotic musical adventure.
Amrita and Robbi's first CD together, Mothers Grace, began the blending of African and Turkish instrumentation and rhythms with the East Indian bhajan. After 9/11, Amma sent a request to Her devotees to spend 15 minutes each day chanting a Sanskrit peace prayer for the peace and happiness of all beings. This inspired Amrita and Robbi to record a 15 minute version of the prayer, Lokah Samastah Sukinob Bhavantu. The popularity of this CD, which is now in its second printing, continues to grow.
