Krishna Das | Asking for Treble
https://askingfortreble.wordpress.com/2010/12/28/krishna-das
It’s been a long time since something was posted on this blog. To tell you the truth it was mostly procrastination. Now I’ve finally got around it and have 4 new recommendations which I will post over the next week or so. Here is the first one. What makes his music extremely different is that he mixes the normal Western rock and roll tunes, and the normal blues chorals with. Yes you read right. He uses both Indian and western instruments Harmonium, table, violin, guitar etc. The use of the guitar on ...

The Manganiyar Seduction | Asking for Treble
https://askingfortreble.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/the-manganiyar-seduction
Here is the second of the promised four recommendations from my side. The Manganiyar Seduction however is by far his most interesting work. But, you must be wondering, where does the seduction come in? In addition to this, you have dancers on the stage (as can be seen in the pic). There is not much more I can really say to describe this, but implore you to watch the video and see the magic for yourselves. Oh, by the way, you can see Roysten Abel’s website.

Vasantrao Deshpande | Asking for Treble
https://askingfortreble.wordpress.com/2010/08/01/vasantrao-deshpande
After a pretty long lull, during which our dear readers have hopefully been able to digest all the previous preaching, here is another recommendation. Dr Vasantrao Deshpande belonged to the so-called golden era of Marathi music. He took tutelage from different schools of music which lent strong musical foundations. He had a firm grasp not just over Marathi and Hindi, but also Urdu. Apart from being a vocalist, he was also proficient at playing the Tabla. A multi-faceted singer, a must hear. Vatevar kate ...

Albert Marsicano | Asking for Treble
https://askingfortreble.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/albert-marsicano
Right then. So several months ago, I promised four recommendations. Clearly that has not happened, and for once, boredom is not the reason. Anyway, here’s the third of those four recommendations. I discovered this guy by accident when I was looking for a particular Hendrix video on youtube. One of the related links was a rendition of Purple haze on the sitar. I quite liked it and searched for more. I found more great stuff by this guy. Here are a few videos. Enjoy. By askingfortreble on December 12, 2011.
