RSSWorld Music Festival - RagaMala: A Celebration of Indian Classical Music
World Music Festival > RagaMala
Spanning 15 hours, two downtown venues, and featuring dozens of performers, RagaMala offers a jaw-dropping assortment of Indian classical music from some of its greatest current practitioners. Whether it’s the sarod dynasty of Amjad Ali Khan and his songs Amaan and Ayaan or the innovative slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya, who kick off the evening with a concert at the Pritzker Pavilion, or the enchanting vocals of Aditya Prakash, the haunting bansuri flute work of Rakesh Chaurasia or the vedic chants the wind down the evening the next morning at the Chicago Cultural Center, RagaMala functions as the perfect, immersive introduction to ancient music of Inida. Not only are both the music of the north (Hindustani) and the south (Carnatic) represented, but listeners will also get the rare chance to hear ragas performed at the time of day they were originally composed for—a facet of the tradition lost in the west.
