mesmerizing fusion of sitar and tabla.. thank you so much for sharing it!!!

It’s captivating, it’s fascinating - it’s the mitti that since ages stands as the most invigorating inspiration for music compositions across the world. Why not? Whether it’s the enthralling whiff of soil in the rainy season, or its nostalgic colour in scorching heat or its celebrative mood in spring, the earth stands tall in all its beauty, grandeur and magnificence. The album 'mitti' too is the outcome of this inspiration. With six compositions interwoven around a range of ragas – yaman, maand, pahari, kirwani, simendra madhyam and bhairavi, it brings alive the mesmerizing interplay of classical and folk music. Whether it is the beautiful meera bhajan or kesariya balma or babul mora, all renditions weave a fine tapestry of love, yearning and celebration creating a soothing milieu for the listener only to be infused with serenity. But words are too shallow to let you experience the bliss this album emanates. Listening does...

Nostalgia For Cordoba - N Shamma, A S Khan & S Hussain

O my dear heart, sit with the one
who draws knowledge straight from the heart;
and only go beneath that tree
that always has fresh-blooming buds.

Do not meander aimlessly
among these perfume-merchants' stalls;
but dwell instead within the shop
of one who has sugar in stock.

Unless you have your own true scale,
you'll be quick prey to any thief - 
he'll fashion lovely forgeries,
and you'll believe that they are gold.

The thief will seat you by the door,
and say that he will soon return;
but don't keep waiting at the door - 
remember" the house has two doors.

Don't bring your bowl and meekly sit
by each and every boiling pot;
for each and every boiling pot
conceals yet something else inside.

Not every cane is sugar-filled;
not every low precedes a high;
not ever eye can truly see;
not every ocean has its pearl.

O nightingale, do sing your song;
and rest assured that drunken songs
among hard stones and granite rocks
do leave a mark, do leave a mark.

If you don't fit, then give your head - 
for if the thread declines to pass
within the needle's narrow eye,
it is because it has a head.

This wakened heart's your guiding light-
conceal it well beneath your robe,
and travel through these winds and airs
so full of turmoil and decay.

when you've passed through those gusty winds,
you'll dwell beside the water's source,
and find a mate who shares your breath
and drinks from that life-giving spring.

And when that water circulates,
you're like a tree that's ever-green
and always bears the freshest fruits -
it journeys deep into the heart.

O Heart... - Rumi "Ghazal 563" from Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi
