Product Description

A double reed wind instrument, close to oboe family, called shehnai dominates the sound of this album. Those who know and enjoy the art of the shehnai and of Northern Indian classical music will certainly appreciate the performances by Ustad Ali Ahmad Hussain. Not only is he perfectly familiar with the tradition of an instrument that has moved from its popular and folkloric origins into classical art, but he has also been able to add a new spur in the repertoire, by using shehnai also in extremely complex and atypical ragas.
