Shikantaza is a term used in the Buddhist school Soto Zen and it literally means “nothing but (shikan) precisely (da) sitting (za).” It describes the adopted attitude during zazen meditation. Five years after their album Racing with The Sun, Chinese Man is back with a new opus, SHIKANTAZA. Composed between Marseilles, Bombay and their secret refuge in the French countryside, the 16 tracks of this new album bring you back to the roots of the Chinese Man identity. With this new album, Chinese Man creates a link between its musical origins and its new aspirations. SHIKANTAZA is an invitation to let go, to capture the moment… it is a personal path to enlightenment. TRACKLISTING 1. Shikantaza 2. Liar (feat. Kendra Morris & Dillon Cooper) 3. Maläd 4. Step Back 5.
