For Your GRAMMY® Consideration | Lotus Dream — Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album

Lotus Dream is the 10th album from guitarist and composer Shambhu — a calming musical journey that blends acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and ambient textures. Following his acclaimed albums Reflections and Acoustic Oasis, Shambhu expands his sonic landscape with a spacious, emotionally rich collection of nine original tracks. Each piece is designed to create a sanctuary of sound — music for stillness, healing, and inner reflection.

"Lotus Dream reflects both the calm and satisfaction that we seek and the quiet tensions of our time… I hope they offer release, hope, and beauty through every note." — Shambhu
