Beyond Rhythmscape (Sagarika, 2011)
The sequel to the earlier release Rhythmscape once again has percussionist and composer Bickram Ghosh charting new territory in the realm of Indian fusion. The 7 tracks and video cut are absolutely stellar.
Our picks include the sizzling opening track Untamed, and the hit Sawariya with Kailash Kher on vocals.
The lineup includes Tarun Bhattacharya on santoor and Joydeep Ghosh on sarod. Bickram’s other albums include “Samaa” and “Folktail.”
