专辑简介

The mandolin is rarely heard in North India, though it has become familiar in South Indian music in the hand of renowned virtuoso U. Srinivas. Like the guitar, violin and harmonium, the mandolin came to India with Europeans in the 19th century. Hindustani music is playable on any instrument that can handle nuances of the ornamentation and slides. Snehasish Mozumder's mandolin is deep-toned and has chikari strings as sitar and sarod. He is able to to produce a powerful and nuanced sound from this instrument and produce very fast and unusual right hand rhythms.
