"Gruppens styrka ligger inte minst i det suveräna musikanteriet och variationen mellan olika instrument och klanger."
(Upsala Nya Tidning)

"Mynta vara inte bara en av de första svenska grupperna som spelade världsmusik för 30 år sedan. De blandar även så många traditioner i sin musik att det ibland känns som ett destillat av hela världens musik. På "Meetings in India" ligger förstås olika indiska traditioner i fokus, men varje trumslag ekar av en musikhistoria som är betydligt större och bredare än så."
(Gefle Dagblad)

"Mynta lyckas återigen tillaga en smakrik och mästerligt presenterad musikupplevelse."
(Nya Wermlands-Tidningen)

Prophone proudly announces the World-music group Mynta's twelfth CD, Meetings in India. This new album release occurs as Mynta celebrates its thirtieth year as a band. Through these thirty years, Mynta has been active in many realms, playing hundreds of concerts in festivals, jazz clubs, folk music gatherings, rock clubs and schools. Mynta has appeared in major festivals in Scandinavia, England, Scotland, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, USA, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina, Singapore, China and more than anywhere else, India, where Mynta has toured five times. In each and every location, the public has reacted enthusiastically to PCD 098 Mynta's unique and special "sound". Each of Mynta's members are accomplished soloists. Most visible among Mynta's lineup is Indian tabla-master Fazal Qureshi, the brother of Zakir Hussain (member of the famous group Shakti), and the son of the legendary Alla Rakha, who toured with Ravi Shankar for more than thirty years. Violinist Santiago Jimenez hails from Havana, Cuba. Mynta provides the perfect setting for his virtuosity to blossom. Flutist Dallas Smith hails from Reno, Nevada, USA. In addition to the silver flute, Dallas plays the clarinet, soprano sax, and the Indian bamboo flute-the bansuri-which is featured in Indian classical music. The new album contains one track consisting of a traditional Indian raga, Rag Hindol. The Swedish half of Mynta consistes of the elegant guitarist Max Åhman, who composes much of Mynta's music. Percussionist Sebastian Printz-Werner contributes many musical colors through a variety of instruments, such as the African djembe, Arabian darbouka, South American cajon (box) and many other instruments. Last but not least among Mynta's six members is bassist Christian Paulin, who has been Mynta's leader from its beginning in 1979. Meetings in India was recorded in three separate locations, partly in a studio in Stockholm, partly in a studio in Southern Sweden during a free day on their recent Swedish tour, and partly in a studio in Bombay during Mynta's 2008 India tour, which included a performance at the Calcutta Jazz Festival.
