when europeans really become immersed in these complex indian systems of sound and rhythm it's a question sort of has been asking for years. before i thought this i was like a big experiment could i a western musician who plays drums but not tabla learn the system up to speed this is and then bring my own musical traditions to the instrument off to put it in the agony but it's what i call. the she's a she the rest she is really a pioneer of indian music you can use issues call him ocean of rhythm and in a way he's very traditional at the top of it he does traditional teaching he believes in the guru shishya system of teachers and disciples that's been in india for millenia. keep that thought to teach and his disciple now

3:51 pm
you know patient and experimentation the 2 composers are in good company in the fall when i'm for my client was clear from the start what would beethoven do maybe not indian music but he would certainly try something new that he would do something no one's ever done before something that interests him he would try to push the boundaries so if he would have been here he would have loved it. but hopefully. the indian music and the west and classical has a very real blend to each other so that i think that in a wish and then in the music because i think it's not happened before at classical john are adding up into a symphony orchestra. has made its evening friend marin the bomb congress center will the young musicians be up to the challenge chance to just one week of rehearsal next. to some it means fate and fate is the most know of the 2018
