Description
A live broadcast from the 1981 New Music America Festival, held at the Japan Center Theater in San Francisco, California, featuring a recital by the renowned sarod player, and founder of the Ali Akbar College of Music, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. As with any North Indian classical concert, the music played depended on the time of day as well as the mood and inspiration of the artist. Therefore, the raga and tala of this concert was chosen accordingly, to match the mood of the evening, and was decided upon just prior to the performance. (from KPFA Folio)Genres
