Sita Shankar alerted me to the delights of Carnatic music - a folk tradition in India. After I heard a couple of samples I realised this in an amazing art form. See for yourself

L. Subramaniam & Ambi Subramaniam (violin), Mahesh Krishnamurthy (mridangam), Ganesh Kumar (kanjira) - At the Lincoln Center NY.

Cheers
