Una furtiva Lagrima. Donizetti-Pavarotti:

Indialucia

Around the Ninth Century, for some unknown reasons, thousands of inhabitants of the north-western part of India began to emigrate west.After many years, in the beginning of the 19th Century, due to mutual influences and the mingling of all these elements, a mysterious and expressive type of music emerged. Today we know it as Flamenco.
The musical tradition of India, which in spite of its long existence has never developed those elements, typical of European music, generated extremely complicated rhythms and hundreds of scales unknown to the musicians from Europe.
The musicians from Poland, Spain and India fusing flamenco and Indian classical together takes the statement to a whole new level - a phenomenal musical entity which goes by the name of Indialucia.



In the present form of flamenco dance we can trace certain similarities to the kathak style from the north of India. The elements that resemble the dance of Andalusian Gypsies are the movements of arms, palms and fingers as well as tapping, typical for this kind of dance.

Zambra

The Zambra, also known as the Zambra Mora is a flamenco dance performed by the Roma people (Gitanos) of Granada which is believed to have evolved from earlier Moorish dances and has some similarities to belly dancing. In Maghrebi Arabic spoken in Morocco, "zambra" means party. The Zambra dance forms part of the wedding ceremonies at Gitano weddings, and gypsies perform it for tourists in the Andalucian Sacromonte Caves and Hills. It was outlawed at one time in history and became known as the "Forbidden Dance".

Surashri Kesarbai Kerkar

In 1977, the year she passed away, Kesarbai Kerkar’s unforgettable rendition of raga Bhairavi, “Jaat kahan ho”, literally reached the celestial heights. This happened not because of her divine vocal talent (Tagore had conferred on her the title, “Surashri”, after an earth-shattering performance in Calcutta), and turned out to be a different kind of apotheosis. In fact, it was the Voyager spacecraft that carried her recorded voice to outer space, along with a selection of several other immortal melodies.



Hindustani vocalist Surashri Kesarbai Kerkar (1892 – 1977) is considered one of the finest and most powerful Indian classical singers of the 20th century.

Rudrakshya

Rudrakshya is the Odissi Dance troupe and lineage in Bhubaneshwar, India.
“To witness a performance of Odissi Dance is to enter the place where heaven and earth touch, where the sensual and the spiritual are one in the depths of the human heart.”

Dance of the Desert by Kamal Sabri

DANCE OF THE DESERT- For the first time ever in the history of recorded music, a unique thematic music album featuring a 5 - sarangi ensemble. The instrument, which is synonymous with the vast desert of Rajasthan, enchants as it weaves through the vast landscape adding colour, music and vibrance to its stark, yet fascinating backdrop. Multiple layers of sarangi interlace with an ambient world music canvas to create a spellbinding new sound.
