Chandrika Krishnamurthy Tandon, a financial adviser who once specialized in corporate restructuring at McKinsey & Co., dabbled in music on her off-time. The hobby yielded a chanting CD called “Soul Mantra” that she recorded six years ago for her father-in-law’s 91st birthday.
A hit with family and friends, it attracted a cult following. Her second CD of meditative chants was something else. Released in 2009, “Soul Call” received a Grammy Award nomination in December for best contemporary world music recording.
