There are multiple artists with this name:
1) American R&B/Soul Band
2) Lithuanian singer RASA
3) Latvian folk music group RASA
4) RASA’s music is based on Indian devotional songs from the Vaishnava tradition. Many of India’s finest writers have provided songs in praise of God or expressed a yearning to be closer to the Divine - a desire that has inspired many artists, from many cultures, for many years. Combining these songs with their unique arrangements, RASA has developed a sound that is soulful, respectful of the traditional sources, and very accessible to a western audience. Their music blends meditative, transcendental, and ethereal qualities into an elegant, contemporary style.
Kim Waters is a distinguished illustrator and singer whose publications include Illuminations from the Bhagavad Gita, Enchanted Tales, The Butter Thief, The Vrindavan Fold-out Temple, and Devi, a fold-out altar. She has been singing devotional songs of the Vaisnava saints for many years, inspired by the mystical teachings and rich cultural heritage of India. To describe the path that led Kim Waters into the public eye as the singer of RASA one has to sift through many stories and historical anecdotes.
Hans Christian’s musical journey began many years ago in Germany by studying the cello. “I started to play when I was nine years old and had a private teacher for 10 years. Although my teacher imposed a strict and disciplined approach to learning the instrument I remember him fondly; he was preparing me to go to the music conservatory to become a professional cellist. Deep in my heart, though, I knew all along that this was not going to happen.” His life was to unfold along different lines.

Exciting songs, the themes are seen as a great passion of love (Krsna), the lyrics are beautiful: full of visions, words that are engraved in the mind and soul, music that projected a universality shared, a mix spectacular, a magical vortex of sounds and colors, a pleasure renewed with each listen. -. -. -. -. om hari om .....

@Laro20 Ne, čia sumaišyta atlikėja iš JAV, pasivadinusi Rasa (iš sanskrito k. "švarus, tyras") ir lietuvių Rasa (iš kažkatro realybės šou, tokį popsovą folklorą atlieka).

rishavh: Interesting because I've read on Amazon several comments about "horrible pronounciation" of Rasa's singer. But I guess this is not about precise pronounciation but about the overall feeling from the music and that is really enchanting... ^_^

angry_cat: There's no mistake. There's just conflict that happens often on last.fm - several bands/singers sharing the same name. Anyway, I'm glad the photo changed finally because I think it's clear which Rasa has the most listeners.. ;-)
