Hi this is Samiran at Indiabeat ( www.indiabeat.in ). A friend of mine "Old Monk" and I set up an internet station for fans of Indo Jazz fusion music. Our station launched in August 2006 and we have put together our playlists starting with early works of Indian musicians playing with their Western counterparts. You will find distinct influences of classical as well as jazz and world music sounds.Indiabeat spreads from the experimenting works of John Handy and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Pandit Ravi Shanker with John Pierre Rampal and Philip Glass, Jan Garbarek, John McLaughlin's Indo-fusion project Shakti and his jazz-rock project Mahavishnu Orchestra. In addition you will listen to Indian percussionists Zakir Hussain, Trilok Gurtu, Bickram Ghosh, Talvin Singh and Broto Roy, Indian guitarists Debashish Bhattacharya, Sanjay Mishra, and Amit Heri. Also unique bands such as the Indo-Swedish project Mynta, French band Mukta, and French-Canadian guitarist Nadaka. Ranging from Mid Eastern sounds of Anour Brahem and Rabih Abou Khalil we also play Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sheila Chandra and Monsoon, Nitin Sawhney and Susheela Raman.Other musicians included are Gabor Szabo, George Brooks, Larry Coryell, Jonas Hellborg, Prem Joshua, Niladri Kumar, Ananda Shankar, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Ry Cooder, Dr. L Subramaniam, L Shankar and the Violin Brothers.When you visit our site www.indiabeat.in you can read articles by scholars and interviews of musicians.
