CHINESE MAN
SHIKANTAZA (CHINESE MAN)
Available again - CD of 2017 CM album SHIKANTAZA, crafted between Marseille, Bombay and the band's home base in the Ardèche.
Shikantaza is an invitation to let go, to seize the moment, a path to awakening that's up to each and every one of us.
`Shikantaza' is a term used in the Buddhist school Soto Zen and literally means `nothing but (shikan) exactly (da) sitting (za)'.
It describes the posture adopted during zazen meditation. Composed between Marseille, Bombay and a secret refuge in the French countryside, the 16 tracks of the new album take us back to the roots of Chinese identity.
With `Shikantaza', Chinese Man create a link between their musical origins and their new endeavours.
`Shikantaza' is an invitation to let go, to seize the moment ... it is a personal path to enlightenment.
