Album Description
Yashu's second release with Nazca Music incorporates a fascinating blend of Eastern and Western styles and instrumentations. Her scales on the flute carry the heart of the East, soft and playful, as she guides the listener inwards. The melodies are centered in the heart, while some are recent compositions, others were conceived in the presence of Osho, twenty years ago. They all take you on the same journey, from the heart to the essence, from the essence to the heart. The opening track 'Buddha Jazmin', inspired by the birth of her grandchild, reflects the wonder of the path and evokes a transformation by seeing the new and the old. A celebrative mood is created in the strong rhythmic Arabian tune called 'Gap in Marrakesh', which incorporates influences of Sufism with the fire of flamenco, aspects of Yashu's past. Yashu is accompanied by her long time friends, Harida on drums and percussion; Somesh on guitar and keyboard; and Moksha on guitar, bass and guimbre (traditional bass from Marocco).

CD-Revolutions, May 2000
When the 9 to 5 race frazzles your nerves, find relief on your own Oasis with Yashu.

Aquarius, January 2000
Another solace for the weary mind, heart, and body is Oasis, by Yashu.

Customer Reviews

A great mix of moods
I've always enjoyed the mix of new age and world music. And this album has it in a superb blend. Oasis is the title, and aptly so, because the album is like an oasis of music. With songs like Gap In Marrakesh, you can liven up yourself to the spiritual rhythm and sultry melody. Then, with songs like the title track, Oasis, you can relax your mind with the gentle flow of ambient tones. It's truly a remarkable feast for the ears and mind.
