The artists involved in the production of Shanti Shanti are simply just the members of the Forman family! The sisters were gifted with the unexplained ability to chant Sanskrit and paired with their father's ability to produce and write music, Shanti Shanti was born. Later on the girls became more active in the producing and writing of the music and their younger brother joined in to add his deep base voice. Their mother helped to explain this phenomena by writing the family's story in a book to share with the public.
