Aucklander Junelle Kunin (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Pūkenga, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) had the idea of putting together an album infused with the Tibetan spiritual leader's mantras and chants, and her musician/producer husband, Abraham helped with the creation. The album Inner World is set for worldwide release Monday 6 July, to coincide with the Dalai Lama's 85th birthday. Recordings of the Dalai Lama speaking and chanting are woven through the music produced by Abraham, and performed by a range of artists. Here is the first track released, Compassion.
