Maestro Ali Akbar Khan interviewed by Pt. Buddhadev Das Gupta Part 1

Indian Opera

Introduction

As an established Indian percussionist, composer and music producer based in London, I have explored various genres and cultures of music through my work. After meeting Kishon Khan, a leading UK based latin and jazz pianist, I had an inspired vision to produce and compose an album with Kishon, based on the latino beats with contemporary music, Indian rhythms and ragas.

I would like to share this soulful concept, Esmeralda - Colours of Indo Latino. Performed by the best of British, Cuban and Indian musicians, recorded in London, Havana and Mumbai, the album is an organic, rhythmic mix of sounds and vocals from two of the greatest musical nations in the world. The instruments are played and fused in layers of colours creating a canvas of emotions and beats that will touch the heart.

A Big Jai Ho! Para siempre!!
