Aloka — Mixtape 001
Curated by Graham Slick
About the Mixtape
Some of these tracks live inside Graham's ceremonies. The playlist moves through kirtan legends Krishna Das and Bhagavan Das, Seema Mishra's devotional bhajan, and The Hanumen — featuring Portland's own Benjy Wertheimer. It includes Anoushka Shankar, daughter of sitar master Ravi Shankar, and Nick Barbachano — an independent musician whose songs are rooted in plant medicine and prayer circles — with the quietly sacred "Arbolito Divino." It opens with Radiohead's "How to Disappear Completely," drifts through S.A. Karl's "Andrea's Song," and closes with "In a River" by Rostam — the Grammy-winning producer and Vampire Weekend co-founder who made one of the most quietly devastating solo songs of the last decade.
