Edinburgh-Raga-Unison
  • It was an amazing experience. This was the best Indian music show which I have attended in UK so far. I've been to quite a few in Glasgow and in London, but nothing has moved me the way these guys moved today. What was more intriguing was the Miami guitar, which was being played in an Indian raga, and the guy who played the guitar with him, and he was playing Indian ragas on the guitar. That was mind-blowing. I've never heard anything like that. The second section was even amazing. The flute player, Mr Praveen. Hats off to that guy. I was like, When I see him, I'll touch his feet. That's how amazing he was. So whoever who is not here, be there whenever you see next post from Kallasuda and be there to experience the magical experience of Indian classical music and how it moves you. Because it moved me, it moved us. It's an amazing experience. Thanks. Thank you for bringing this to us.
  • It's surreal experience, very good performance, very good artist.First session, second session was truly magical.The music was really, really something which was out of this world. Especially the fusion and the jugalbandis that the artist had between them were really great and it took us into a different dimension altogether.Those who have not watched this program earlier, I would definitely recommend to go ahead and watch it when you get a chance. Thank you very much for this experience, it was wonderful.
