Sitar ,c sharp

Recorded this in Northern india with handheld dictaphone.Very quiet recording but awrte if u turn up.This is a 2 piece group,wan guy playing dholak which is a large barrel drum which predates the tabla by a few hundred years.These musicians are from the kalbelya tribe.Kalbelya translates as "those who play with snakes "and the tribe are known for the recently outlawed practise of snake charming.Interestingly the Romani people of eastern europe originally descend from the Kalbelya tribe."Rom"is ancient sandscript for Man and the group inherited this as their own  cultural identity  began to form about 800 years ago.

Kalbelya been flute and dholak

I recorded this for Gali with a 500 rupee (5 quid)  microphone in his Music store( located on the other side of the river near bike hire.)Gali wrote this song in his native Kanada language and played all instruments with the help of our swedish friend anya on backing vocals.Gali does alot for the Hampi community and is definitely worth going to meet if your visiting this beautiful region of Karnataka.
