Kafi Raga - Café raGa,..
You've heard it said,.. write it down so you don't forget it,.. that's what this Hindustani piece is for me,..
The short love story, I wrote about how Melody and Rhythm created Harmony, their love child. Their story takes place in a 50s dinner with live music.
The genres transition from Hindustani, Jazz into Blues. Certainly a niche market however that's Art.
The study of Eastern Music is intriguing and oddly familiar within the forms of music. The Kafi Raga is a unique Scale to use for everything in this tune including my guitar and sitar solos,..
The Scale or Raga is intended to be played mainly in the evening. It would almost be a sin if you played this Raga in the morning. To stick to traditions, I primarily work on this during the evening.
A love story, I chose to express through the eyes of another culture.
Tablas, sitar, jazz and blues are a unique combination. My work is calling, so I'd best be off before the Boss gets mad at me.
