Ruhaniyat- The Night of interesting Sounds

That was quite a night of music! Variety was interesting- Egypt, Assam, Rajasthan , but was it any good- that was the question. It was a bhelpuri mix - with girls swirling around with braids, spinning humans, clapping hands, Assamese instruments. I couldn't understand what the central theme really was. The best part of the night was the kawali - melodious and SOFT. The rest of the sound was soo loud- i couldn't hear myself in the end.

It is wonderful to see that India and Mumbai in particular is attracting all kinds of talent- but sometimes we need to be overly selective in who we attract. Sufi is a mystic kind of music and the essence needs to be retained and not distorted when trying to bring diversity.
