Do you have any more photos of this event? The lighting is excellent and I love this colour scheme that it brings out. It feels extremely unique.

Amazing piece. Totally changed my opinion on accordion :o Would be curious to see the written vocal partn (esp. the click-sounds)

I never get tired of hearing this, any version

Increible

👍🎯⛩🙏

well, that was fairly intense!

masterpiece

Thanks for the noble effort :) East Greets East = title of the epochal recording/CD. <English text is below Japanese> 日印両国の偉大な音楽文化と素晴らしい奏者たち。その楽器の素晴らしさが伝わっていますが、お互いに相手の音楽にもっと親しく慣れればそれほどの充実した演奏が期待できます。ほぼ50年前の元の企画に多少関わった者として、そして40年間前より日印の間に音楽や教育活動を通じて頂いた経験などに感謝ています。当時の主奏者Ravi Shankarを1987年にインド現地にてその日本での演奏と録音経験などについてインタビューさせて頂きました。こちらのNPO「日印音楽交流会」活動に対する貴重な助言も頂きました。 East Greets East (not the 'east and west') was the title of the epochal recording/CD - a grand overdue idea from Pdt Ravi Shankar & Koizumi Fumio, accomplished in Tokyo in mid-1970s along with three other artists who I was privileged to know personally in my youth. This rendition by two fine artists of present-day Japan and India has its moments, presenting the respective strengths of the shakuhachi and sitar, but coherent rapport between the two traditions is not evident. With more time and attention paid to the vast possibilities of styles and instruments between the Indian and Japanese cultures, the artists could aptly demonstrate the innate affinity. BTW, I was honored to interview Ravi Shankar in his garden in Delhi 1987 (at his invitation) and hear his account of this unique recording experience; and receive kind advice in my own writing from Koizumi Fumio, as well as attend (and graduate, in 1992) from the Bhatkhande Music College (Lucknow) where he had studied in the mid-1960s. My shakuhachi was used to complete the Hindustani classical music 5-yr Visharad course, and our NPO Indo-Japanese Music Exchange Association www.ijmea.net has for 32 years carried out many in-depth projects, events, educational initiatives etc in both countries. < www.ijmea.net and links to elsewhere >
