City Raga is the eighteenth album by Popol Vuh which was originally released in 1995 on Milan Records.
In this album, Popol Vuh plays a style of music which is similar to bands like Enigma, Deep Forest or Banco de Gaia, mixing electronic music and dance rhythms with ethnic chants and the sampled voice of singer Maya Rose rather than the krautrock, psychedelic rock and ambient music of their previous releases. Because of this, City Raga remains generally a controversial release among Popol Vuh's fanbase.
AllMusic noted the style of the album as "sounding surprisingly similar to contemporary electronic and new age."[1]
