After a month or so, a time to look back at some musical experiences.
Four weeks back on a weekend like this, a Sushila Raman concert at Dunes. A different world of black magic rendered not only in the richness of Tamil Voodo music but the symbolically rich attire of singers and accompanying musicians so central in creating the effect. A trip to Mumbai last week made it impossible to attend her next one at the Dunes, this one again bringing a fusion of sorts with Baul singers.
Three weeks back was Freedom Jam. A treat to watch if you are in Pondicherry. On the beach road five concerts happening together. A south indian violin jamming with western guitar, a Rajasthani musical cum folk play, American country music with a guitar and mandolin, a bangalore band desperately trying to get a 'Doors' song right. We finally settled for a French rock band. A French rock band looked like any other rock band except for the brilliance of a pipe instrument player. He played the flute, clarinet, horn, basson and what not that day and sent us mesmerized and maybe rocking as well.
