Anupam Shobhakar – Wine of the Mystic
Anupam Shobhakar
Wine of the Mystic (Times Music, 2006)
This is an absolutely first rate fusion album featuring Anupam Shobhakar on sarod and guitars, Sangeeta Lahiri on vocals, Suresh Padmanabhan on violin and Ravindra Chari on sitar. The compositions are slick and tight, and cover a wide range of mood and texture.
Our pick is the exhilarating track Three Days, but each of the 8 tracks is good. Sarod virtuoso Anupam Shobhakar teaches and performs in India and abroad and composes music for films as well. Artistically fusing jazz, electronica and classical music, this album is a must-have for fusion fans.
