Jazz Hot - J.M. Gaudas
« Ravi Prasad’s singing imposes itself as it is : powerful, warm, haunting. »
Les Inrockuptibles - O. Bailly
« Ravi Prasad & Pedro Soler : How do this guitar with its flamenco gimmicks and Ravi’s voice, sometimes sounding like a cry and percussive some other times, get along ? How does it work ? It’s a mystery. A wave of nostalgia overwhelms us while listening to this record; the beauty has nothing to do with the ornament. »
Libération - Bouziane Daoudi
« Ravi Prasad’s work blows a voluptuous and quivering charm over us.»
Chronicart - Soeuf Elbadawi
« Duet with Pedro Soler : Very much interested in exchanging, this is not Ravi Prasad ’s first experience. In 1996, he already initiated a project in which jazz meets classical Indian music and flamenco, in a show called “Mythia” (played at UNESCO and the Olympia ). Through this new dialog with flamenco duende star Pedro Soler, he inspires emotion and charm for all music lovers. »
Classica - J. Nossan
« Entre-Deux : Confronted with a string trio, Ravi Prasad declines his vision of a free and universal, complex and contemplative music. As fascinating a singer as a flutist, Ravi Prasad is the master of the ensemble. »
La Dépêche du Midi - M. C. M.
« Mythia : a wide, generous work… Ravi Prasad has given us a beautiful definition of universality. »
L’Indépendant - V. Pons
« Entre-Deux : …this incredible musician, the music cannot be dissociated from sensuality... With his show well named Entre-Deux – East and West- Ravi Prasad takes the audience far away from here. »
Les Chroniques du Solénoïde
« Entre-Deux : Prasad offers us a succession of impressionist paintings; nine jewels cradled with nomad utopia and mystical fever where fans of the Kronos Quartet and Citizens of the 4th world can meet ! »
Le Nouveau Politis - Denis Constant Martin
« A fusion that is never obliging nor condescending […] real world music. »
Z Production - Jean-Luc Aribaud
« Duet with Philippe Gal : acrobats of these Indian musical ranges in spite of ourselves, juggling with crossbred notes, we come across bridges and fords, a bow as a beam, holding our breath because of the magic of his voice… So, music, music, may Ravi Prasad and Philippe Gal initiate us again, take us back to ourselves: human, small human being listening to the spheres, and tall when he opens up, when coming across a moment of silence, an unsuspected elsewhere. »
Trip-Hop - Charles de la rédaction
« Songs for the Inner World : no wonder artists such as Bjork, Massive Attack or Madonna wanted to work with Talvin Singh, after listening to his last performance. Song for the Inner World”, that has been ordered for the Saint Denis Festival. Uncontested master on traditional tablas, turntables’ virtuoso, Talvin Singh and Sangat, a group of 8 international artists such as the Indian vocalist and percussionist Ravi Prasad… carry out a project in 6 pieces inviting us to travelling, meditation, spirituality, communion, through a subtle mix of traditional Indian music and urban electro sounds. »
Ethno Tempo - S. Fougere
« Songs for the Inner World – These five songs for the inner world by Talvin Singh, spread such as odes to the divine, respecting the rules of Indian music as well as the rhythmic figures and atmosphere of electro music. The first piece, Only You, is a true raga of the modern time developing over twenty minutes, carried by dazing mantras by carnatic singer without boundaries Ravi Prasad, coming for the final, Trotamundo, and also shares with us his talent on jaw’s-harp. »
Les Inrockuptibles - F. Dordor
« Song for the Inner World, creation by Talvin Singh presented at the Saint Denis Festival with the participation, among others, of Ravi Prasad’s great carnatic voice, condenses a musical vision focused on the interaction between machines and tradition which continues to fascinate the audience and inspire his work. »
L’Humanité - F. C.
« This surprising mastering of rhythm and language characterises Minvielle’s absolute musicality. His singing swings in one’s veins and blood. He started a local laboratory to which he associated privileged guests such as the artist Ravi Prasad, the poet Bernard Manciet, the Polyrhythmic Choral Rap Experience from Gascogne. And last but not least Duophonic with Bernard Lubat, in which both of them investigate every aspect of the voice (poetry, theatre, literature, blues…) : We are in the heart of the ocean. »
