As a follow up to the solemn beauty of her debut release, Mercy Songs, Mercedes Bahleda offers a rocking Kirtan album that is as beautiful to the ear as it is a blessing to the heart and mind. On Path to Bliss, a handful of New York City's finest musicians - recording live in-studio and employing an eclectic arsenal of instruments ranging from cello and steel guitar to African Kalimba and hang (pron. Hung) drum - construct a sonic temple enabling Mercedes' exquisite voice to truly shine.
