Search - Alif Laila :: Sangam: Coming Together

Accompanied by world-famous tabla master Ustad Tari Khan, Bangladeshi sitar virtuoso Alif Laila brings new emotion, drama, and dynamics to the classical music of India. Here, the duo crafts breathtakingly fresh interpretations of three centuries-old ragas. For over a decade Alif Laila has toured throughout the US and the Indian subcontinent, from the Smithsonian to the Shahid Minar National Shrine in Bangladesh. Tari Khan tours the Americas, Europe, and Asia and has appeared on over eighty records as well as on Hollywood and Bollywood sound tracks. Three weeks after this recording, he performed for Laura Bush under the auspices of the president of Pakistan. The CD's sound quality sets new standards of clarity for Indian music; Mapleshade's renowned, all-analog technology captures the full range of expression, from the most delicate touch of fingers on the strings to thunderous, full-force crescendos on the tablas.
