This year Global Lakshminarayana festival was held at Ambedkarbhavan last week.
It was something unique for a music lovers because it included variety of musicians.
When asked about the fusion in music he expressed that the term fusion has been generalized; they play Jugalbandi with Ustad Bismilla Khan and call it fusion. Music has seven notes; the ornamentation is different that is all. It is in the colouring that we call it Jazz, Carnatic, Hidustani and Western. In fusion you understand the other person is playing and blend your style accordingly.
Next year please watch to listen L. Subramaniam’s violin recital and also the performance of his son. Don’t miss.
