about

“Long before the terms “world beat” and “new age” became standard jargon in the music industry, Mauilotus demonstrated innovative composition skills on a variety of unusual instruments. The group blends voice, flutes, bass guitar and piano with Chinese Harp, Indian Tablas, Santoor Persian Harp, Tibetan Singing Bowls, African Udu (drums) and other instruments to forge a new tradition of acoustic music created by Western and Eastern influences.”
- Marty Kellor

“The Groups blending of Eastern and Western Music musical traditions and instruments yields intricate melodies, music that flashes with colors, like a prism spinning in the sun.”
