From San Francisco, this Californian-meets-India group played a very relaxed mystic blend of music, alternating instrumental cuts with vocal songs. Adding instruments such as sarod, dholak and tablas to their regular guitar/bass/drums line-up Shanti created an exotic, rootsy aura, never mind the spiritual lyrics. Zakir Hussain also played with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead on his Rolling Thunder album.

... it's a hippy rock band with added indian musicians and it's awesome. sunny, optimistic, east-west jam-band spiritual fusion i suppose. zakir hussein, of course, went on to play with mickey hart and john mclaughlin....
