The
mystical spirit and exotic sounds of ancient India come to us once
again in an accessible Western context, courtesy of Nadaka and
Gopika.
The
duo creates entrancing atmospheres, with Gopika and Nadaka's
impassioned, heartfelt vocals and Nadaka's raga guitar and guitar
synthesizer providing the focal point through which the traditional
songs are revitalized in a contemporary setting.
Rounding
out the alluring sounds are Keshava on tabla, Karthick Iyer on
violin, Ganesh Basavaraj on tabla and percussions, and R. Rajkumar on
gatham and percussion sampling.
If
you're looking for a modern introduction to classical Indian music,
this is a good place to start.
