With music from India by: Gharana Fusion & Raja Chatrapati Singh.
1- Gharana is a world fusion band from Calcutta. In their music they mix guitar, bass and drums with the bansoeri (flute) and other well-known Indian instruments such as sitar and tabla, but also with less known percussion instruments such as khamak and dubki. Their predominantly instrumental music is supplemented here and there with typically Indian vocals by singer Debjani Acharya, derived from the raga. She gives the exciting title track extra cachet. Due to the combination of high guitar sounds with percussion on the tabla, this song is a very successful form of crossover that is described by the band as Ethno fusion and which is characteristic of the album as a whole. * CD.
