PUJA

This record represents a full day’s journey of the sun. The morning raga Charukeshi makes its way through the heat of an afternoon Bhimapalsi, basks in the sweet evening Kafi and finally savors the light of a sunrise Bhairavi. An entire all-night Indian music program on two sides.

OVERVIEW EFFECT

The musicians featured on this record come from all backgrounds including Argentina, India, Pakistan and the United States. As a result, embedded in the music are messages of tolerance, diversity, inclusion and conviction -- messages I hold dear.

ARRANGED MARRIAGE

The Big Takeover's Chuck Foster describes it: "Mustafa Bhagat’s (The Biryani Boys) beautiful sitar expertly explores the space between sound, drone and silence, while Jerry Adler ([EX OH], Wave Sleep Wave, The Blam, Flugente) creates a swirling electronic squelch borne from his effects-laden guitar and synthesizer.”

SITAR DUETS

Pandit Manilal Nag, from a famous, venerable family of traditional musicians, is one of India's senior and most renowned sitarists. A master of improvisation, he performs duets with his daughter, Mita Nag, a highly regarded sitarist in her own right.
