...half octave range. Singing mostly in Hindi, Jasraj’s performance may have seemed completely alien to those unfamiliar with South Asian culture. And yet, while the vocals were indecipherable at times, the emotion was palpable, immersing the listener completely. Commencing slowly, with soft vocals and a steady tabla beat—a small pair of drums played expertly by Anuradha Pal—the music built gradually, becoming faster and louder, and captivating the audience such that it was difficult to track the beginnings and ends of songs. An epic four hours later, the show ended concluding with...

The Saturday night performance was sold out in less than two days, according...

The production is still as clean as computer code and the tracks retain a dance feel, but they are more measured and the beats are as likely to be hammered out by hand as manufactured on a synthesizer. The languid Raanjhan is the definitive track here. Saathi, featuring...
