Shameless, Shameless Self Promotion! :)

Post by ragani » Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:22 pm

Hello TAXI Loves!

I'm THRILLED to see that my new single release Love Holds Everything just hit #24 (US) and #26 (Greece) in iTunes top 100 World Music Charts!!! (And right there along one of my longtime favorite Hawaiian artists, IZ [Israel Kamakawiwo'ole]! :D ) This song only a few days old, as it was just released earlier this week.
iTunes >> http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/love-h ... d410942386
CDBaby >> http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ragani4/from/mantra

This release is the first of my new mantra beat collection, which will be released as digital singles. This song features the instructions that the Buddha gave to his monks as he was preparing to leave the body: "bahu jana sukhaya, bahu jana hitaya", meaning "for the bliss of the many, for the welfare of the many". (More details on my website: http://www.raganiworld.com/cds_lhe.html.)

And my offer still stands-- free hugs for everyone who posts a quick review on iTunes! You can collect in double from me at the next Rally in 2011!!! :D :D :D

Love to you all and happy holidays!!
Raags

Thanks, deantaylor! :D

Yes, IZ really landed a good one with his "Wonderful World"-- the world fell in love with him on that track. And I heard when he was recording that album that he "had a feeling" that it was going to be big. But then, sadly, he passed away before he got to see all that was going to happen. It's been holding tight at #1 in US for some time now... :)

Ours was just #24, but it will do for starters! :D

Happy holidays to you!

Wow, thanks so much, Dave! :D :D :D Means a lot to me to hear that YOU bought my song, and that YOU are loving it! Made my day!!! :D

Yes, that photo was taken five winters ago by my sweetie husband, Dale. So yes, I guess that would have been about the time when I was in high school. 8-) :lol: ;) :D
