Rasa Music also now known as Rasa Living is a record label based in New York City. It is the sister record label of AMI (Australian Music International) which was formed in 1991 with the intention of nurturing cultural musicians from Australia and marketing their music internationally. AMI is the home of Nomad (led by world beat composer and didgeridoo player Adam Plack), whose self-titled album Nomad has earned success in the United States and abroad. Today Rasa Music's artists include Deepak Chopra, Prince Fatty, Indialucia, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Suphala, Benet, and many others. The label is run by Donna D'Cruz.

[edit] History
American record label focused on music for health, enlightenment and conscious entertaining. Donna D'Cuz is a celebrity DJ and head of the company. D'Cuz performed at events in St. Tropez, Mykonos, London, Paris, Istanbul, Oslo, Tel Aviv, Sydney, Monte Carlo, Mexico City and Marrakech; created unique music journeys for Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana, Naeem Kahn, Donna Karan, Zac Posen, Diane Von Furstenberg, Patricia Fields and other in the fashion world. D'Cruz contributes 25% of her performances to charities such as the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation, Free Arts NYC, the G&P Foundation, Women Together (United Nations) and many more.
In 2007, D'Cuz was recognized as a “Trendsetter” by Conde Naste Publications and as one of the “Most Beautiful People” by Paper magazine. Her business endeavors have been honored by the Asian Women In Business society, as she was presented with the Entrepreneurial Leadership Award.
As the founder and creative force of Rasa Living D"Cuz strives to achieve much with the music and tools for personal transformation that she shares with the world. Rasa is Sanskrit for the sap or essence of things. It is a fitting name because Rasa’s CDs invite the world to meditate, learn about love, seek self exploration, and learn how to relax or just celebrate life - all things necessary to lead enriching fulfilling lives. Rasa creates soundtracks for our lives – the way we wished they could be.
In keeping with this mission, RaSa Music has expanded into Rasa Living, a lifestyle company that creates dynamic tools to aid in the expansion of consciousness while embracing sensuality, high doses of chic, conscious sourcing and production. D'Cuz says, “My dream is to show the world that music has the power to drive our humanity forward and change our consciousness. Music, poetry, art, dance are our necessary spiritual sustenance like food for our collective souls.” In 2008, Rasa Living released, “Surival of the Fattest” by Prince Fatty harking back to the classic Studio One, Island Records early Reggae sounds; “Soul of Healing Affirmations” by Deepak Chopra (Luxe CD with Flipbook package including A-Z Affirmations); “Soul Adventures- A Reiki-infused Journey into Wellness” by Trish Whelan/Soul Adventures, Rasa Wellness Volume 1 in response to the vast amount of Yoga salons, Spas, Hotels wanting unique relaxing music journeys; “Intriguing India” combining CD/DVD exploration into India (other countries are lined up for the series); follow-up releases on the well-loved “Afrikya” series.

Companion compilations, RasaMello Volumes I-III offer a selection of blissful Balearic grooves that is simply the finest in Downtempo.
[edit] Summer Solstice
Rasa Living is delighted to be presenting “Summer Solstice” to celebrate the Summer Equinox - longest day of the year, Nature's ebullient, raucous Mardi Gras before Autumn's gathering and Winter's rest.
Summer Solstice is a primal and pagan nod to the turn of earthly seasons with nature in full bloom & beauty and lands flowing with milk & honey, abundance & plenitude, casting the same somnolent spell on us all.
No matter if your Summer is spent under gentler Northern skies or under the paintbox-bright roof of a Southern sky, we welcome Summer as avidly as any lover and leave it with the same poignant reluctance.
