Music Recommendation #1

As we were doing our typical walk home one evening after Yoga from Lakshman Jhula to High Bank, we passed a music store. The song that drifted out was so beautifully haunting and full of yearning that I asked Darin to wait while I went back. A Finnish girl with shaven head and orange robe was sitting there with the shop owner. She turned to me and said "Isn't this amazing!" It truly was. I was transfixed by the music and couldn't even speak until the song was over. The shop owner was a spiritual man, as is most everyone in these holy cities, and he spoke to the girl and I about people's connection to music. About how when a song really moves you it's because you have that song or rhythm inside of you already and your soul is responding to it. Maybe you have this song inside of you too, maybe not, but take a listen and see... Ghazal - "The Rain" - Artists: Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan (Sitar, Vocals), Kayhan Kalhor (Kamancheh), Sandeep Das (Tabla)
