“I think what was beautiful is the confluence, so it's a confluence of cultures, we were discussing that outside, and we were just talking about Sufism and oneness, you know, so that again is a proof of that oneness, how the instruments from West and East merge together.”

London-Ragas-Fusion
  • Great experience, thoroughly enlightening, and great to see all the different musicians working together. We enjoyed the fusion, I thought that was brilliant. Fusion, yes. Different experience, thank you.
  • Yeah, the music was so universal, it's like you brought everybody together. Absolutely. And I really felt like the instruments were like part, it was almost like it was part of their bodies. Yeah, the way they played, which was just so amazing.
  • Absolutely extraordinary. I don't think I've ever experienced a combination of instruments that way. I mean, I've got to say, I felt absolute bliss just running through my body throughout that entire event. I just couldn't stop smiling. The sheer artistry and brilliance of those artists was just something that I cannot even describe to anybody unless they sit there and they experience it themselves. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope that we have many, many more of these types of concerts and I hope that these artists will at least produce something together or come together on the stage. It's a gift. Thank you so much.
