WELCOME ! The music of RASA is based on devotional songs from ancient India that have been creatively arranged for traditional Indian and contemporary Western instrumentation. RASA has enjoyed a warm embrace from their listeners throughout the United States for their soothing, spiritual, and sacred sound.
