The Tiny Desk concert features a blend of Hindustani and Western music, exemplified by classical guitarist Sharon Isbin and sarod virtuoso Amjad Ali Khan. This genre-crossing collaboration pays homage to historic cultural exchanges, dating back to the 1960s with figures like George Harrison and Ravi Shankar. Isbin performs with the Strings for Peace ensemble, incorporating classical Indian music into her repertoire. The performance's highlights include traditional compositions alongside Isbin’s flamenco-influenced pieces, reflecting a rich interplay between diverse musical traditions and underscoring the interconnectedness of global musical genres today.
Isbin's delicate, rounded tones swap call and response riffs with the shimmering, slippery and stentorian sarods in music that both mesmerizes and reaches ecstatic heights.
In our current musical genre-verse, everything, everywhere seems, in some way, connected.
