Yamantaka is an album by percussionist Mickey Hart and Tibetan bell specialists Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, best known for their 1972 release Tibetan Bells. Yamantaka was recorded in California in 1982, and was initially released on LP in 1983 by Celestial Harmonies. The album, which features performances on rare and invented percussion instruments, was reissued on CD in 1991 with three additional tracks that were recorded earlier that year in Connecticut, and was included in the five-CD boxed set The Complete Tibetan Bells (1972–1991). Musicians Jody Diamond, Sandy Sawyer, and Brian Keane, who produced the reissued album, also appear on several tracks.

  • Yamantaka is an album by percussionist Mickey Hart and Tibetan bell specialists Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, best known for their 1972 release Tibetan Bells. Yamantaka was recorded in California in 1982, and was initially released on LP in 1983 by Celestial Harmonies.

Musicians Jody Diamond, Sandy Sawyer, and Brian Keane, who produced the reissued album, also appear on several tracks. According to the album liner notes, Yamantaka is named for "the Tibetan god of the dead and lord of the underworld." In an interview, Hart noted that there are no membrane-based instruments on the album, commenting: "I never struck a membrane because it sometimes takes away that space of drifting, because it draws your attention to it." He reflected: "This music doesn't have anything to do with anything else. We're so inundated by western music and our own sounds that sometimes we can't hear the purity of other music." (en)
