23rd November, 2009

It's been nearly a year since the horrific terrorist attacks on Mumbai (26th November 2008), and let's take this moment to offer our respects to those we have lost and wish their families the best. It is also an opportunity to look ahead and learn from what's happened, and feel a sense of pride about how the Mumbai and Indian citizens came together and brought the city back to its feet in no time.

Gharana Music was on as usual, and what played on the show tonight was one of the most talented contemporary Hindustani musicians who is also from Mumbai, Pandit Nayan Ghosh - a rare case of someone who has mastered two diverse instruments, the tabla and the sitar. We also heard a piece by Ustad Rashid Khan. Here are the songs:

1. Pandit Nayan Ghosh (sitar) - Raag Kafi accompanied by Malhar Ghosh on tabla
2. Ustad Rashid Khan (vocals) - Raag Bihag
