Embedding the clip is of course ok, BUT otherwise no further use, no copying and no publication of this material is allowed without my permission. I published this report earlier - in 2007 - in two parts, now it's all in one video. The copyright of this film is owned by Pieter de Rooij / Tonal Ties Productions.
In 2007 the quality of my camera and equipment was still somewhat lacking, but I'm sure the material is nevertheless a worthwhile watch and listen... and now in one go.
In April 2007 ragasinger Kaushiki Chakrabarty from Calcutta was touring in the Netherlands. She was 26 then. I interviewed Kaushiki in Amsterdam, just before the start of her concert tour. Five days later she ended her tour with a dazzling performance in Amsterdam. In this short film Kaushiki tells about her music and career and footage is shown of her fantastic concert in Amsterdam (on tabla there is Subhashish Bhattacharjee and on harmonium is Vyasmurti Anandteerth Katti). In the mix there's also a lot of nice pictures and excerpts from her great album 'Pure' (2004) and her exciting 3-cd-album 'Kaushiki' (2007). Hope you'll enjoy it!
If you like this video and would like to hear more, please take a look elsewhere on my YouTubechannel or check my weblog http://www.tonalties.nl where you will find a lot more contributions on Kaushiki, among them my Gharana-radiospecial for the Concertzender. Probably also worthwhile is a 60-minute special on Kaushiki in world music radioprogramme 'De Wandelende Tak' - hosted by Walter Slosse - from summer 2009 on dutch national Radio 6, in which I was the studio guest talking about Kaushiki and presenting some of her recordings, see http://www.vpro.nl/programma/dewandelendetak/afleveringen/42005155/ and click there on the speaker icon at the word 'audio'.
