Hang Massive x Naviin Gandharv - One | Sounds Of Society

Описание: This musical piece is dedicated to the journey of two unique instruments and their masters, meeting for the first time in the heart of India. While the Hang was invented in Switzerland in 2000, and Hang Massive undoubtedly it's biggest and most famous exponents today, the Belabaharr was invented here in India, by Pundit Babulal Gandharva, as a fusion to include the qualities of a violin as well as the resonance of the Sarangi. His son Naviin, is the only known musician to be playing the Belabaharr.

This episode of Sounds of Society is the first, and the only time these guys have ever played together. Despite coming from different walks of life, the blend of their sounds appear to be connected on many levels. Much like all of us, and everything around us. This song is aptly called - ONE


----

#SoundsOfSociety is a project to document and present the sounds of today. It is a step towards a genre-free, no-rules, and an all-inclusive approach to presenting music-making and its associated performing arts.

Music that represents the social and cultural milieu in which you live. We are the sounds of today. We are the Sounds of Society.

Each episode is carefully curated, and spontaneous. Musicians come together for a few hours, and create the magic.
