The recording is so clear you can just about hear the flautist gasp for a quick breath in between playing. With a vocalisation of the taal, the tabla and flute begin almost immediately and take the listener forward into a fast-paced journey through the musical landscape of Satanic Nafs. It is a landscape that combines both eastern and western genres of music in a way that’s delightfully fresh and almost heartbreakingly beautiful.
This genre-bending song combines South Asian classical with jazz, lots of brilliant improvisations and some pixie dust. The flute is what guides the composition, until the sarangi comes in and takes over exclusively until those moments when they are played together.
