Playlist for July 24, 2005

Couple of brand-new tracks: Rebirth by MIDIval PunditZ, from their brand-new album MIDIval Times. The track features some awesome sitaring by Anoushka Shankar, daughter of the one and only Pandit Ravi Shankar. Another one is Ghazal by Niyaz from their self-titled album. And of course, the evergreen Asha Bhosle with track Rafta Rafta from Asha, her brand-new album. This one’s a rendering of the famous ghazal by Ghulam Ali. IMHO, she shouldn’t mess around with classic ghazals, though, her stupendous voice lacks an essential quality for ghazals: nashaa (intoxication), but that’s just me 🙂
