The kalimba came from Africa, but it is perfectly suitable for any kind of ethnic music. The kalimba has a rather meditative quality since each sound can be observed separately. Mindful observation of playing each note can even induce a trance state in the listener.
Although mantras are not typically played on the kalimba, you can have a unique spiritual experience nonetheless.
If you love yoga, meditation or are interested in Indian culture, playing mantras will evoke a deep resonance in your heart.
Here are 20 Indian mantras adapted for 10 and 17 key kalimbas. All songs are in easily readable diatonic arrangements with number notation. Our aim is to make playing as simple as possible.
Even if you don't have any musical background, you will begin to play very fast.
We added a QR code to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm and the melody before beginning to play.
