Shambhu is without doubt one of my favourite guitarists in this modern day and age, I have adored many musical giants of this instrument throughout the years, but in Shambhu we have a soul who can manifest such soothing musical narratives, and bring a level of tranquillity that few can match, whilst still telling us a musical story, that’s quite an art, and he does it so beautifully.
The guitars of Shambhu are a timeless revere to be worshipped, the mixture of pristine notes and the flavoursome chords of minor and major, all float in the pastiche of an incredibly colourful composition.
The piece does exactly what it says on the can and is indeed a very reflective offering, one can with ease imagine sitting by the coast watching the winter waves break the surface, whilst cumulus clouds drift upon a blue January sky, and perhaps thoughts of a dear friend drift past on distant summer memories.
Reflections by Shambhu is one of those singles that you could leave on repeat for hours and not even notice the time pass by, it is a soothing palate of delicious tones and vibrations, bathed in a memory filled tapestry of serenity and peace. This my friends is acoustic bliss.
