Concert by Josh Feinberg last weekend

Attended a great performance and lecture-demonstration by Josh Feinberg organized by Pratidhwani last weekend.  Josh demonstrated harmonics in Sitar, followed by authentic Maihar style bandishes and taans.

A small sample of zaala from my performance for ePrasaran.

Here is a part of the zaala in Raga Puriya Kalyan that I performed for ePrasaran recently. The song is based on a famous Marathi song sung by Asha Bhosale describing the beautiful evening and the sunset. Enjoy!
