The music from Facing East draws
from the classical music of India, jazz and other world
music influences.
"We think of our music as world music from
the heart," says John Wubbenhorst of the music
and artists at Facing East. "We want to express
the highest values of devotion and surrender to God.
The music from India inspires us with its rich tradition
of sacred devotion. We've come to add Western elements
that we grew up with along with the classical Indian
music we've studied."
