About This Single

Resilience is the second collaboration between new age jazz guitarist Shambhu and guitarist/composer Leo Steinriede, following their well-received single Openings — a track that earned placement on SiriusXM's Spa (Channel 68). Co-written and recorded live in the studio, Resilience captures an unspoken dialogue between two artists listening, responding, and creating in real time.

The song opens with a gentle, contemplative guitar motif, immediately setting an intimate and meditative tone. As the piece unfolds, subtle blues phrasing and jazz-inspired harmonies emerge, infusing warmth and emotional depth. At a time when political tensions, global stresses, and financial uncertainty are an undercurrent of daily life, Resilience reflects the emotional landscape of our world — while always offering a glimmer of hope for a better tomorrow. It also appears as the closing track on the album Lotus Dream.

"Seriously superior guitar work. This single has it all for anyone who delights in cross genres and wonderfully fluent guitar music. I can't recall listening to a single that had so much in the content, that would take me across three decades of guitar playing and a multitude of styles to reconcile my musical perambulations."
— Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio
"Two artists listening, responding and creating in real time — something of a conversation without words. Warm and soothing with a gently flowing rhythm. Very highly recommended."
— Kathy Parsons, MainlyPiano.com
"Beauty and grace."
— Keith Hannaleck, New Age Music Reviews
