A Heart Seeks Fanaa



The heart is a restless beast tonight, much like a ravenous lion in the Roman circuses, and I am attempting to tame it with morsels of sound from that close cousin of Hindustani Classical music, Persian classical music. This is the music I am listening to.

...

Later, I discovered that MusicIndiaOnline (which I think, hands down, is the best Indian music site!) has the very beautiful album "Rain" by Ghazal, the Indo-Persian duo comprised of Iranian kamancheh (spike fiddle) player Kayhan Kalhor and Indian sitarist Shujaat Husain Khan. You may be interested in the liner notes from an earlier Ghazal's album for a quick rundown on these two musicial traditions.
