Guitar Sitar Jugalbandi by Ancient Future

The Guitar-Sitar Jugalbandi version of Ancient Future featuring Matthew Montfort (scalloped fretboard guitar), Pandit Habib Khan (sitar) and Arshad Syed (tabla) performs Montfort's composition, Dawn of Love. Jugalbandi is a classical North Indian musical duet (literally "tied together"), in this case with the unusual configuration of sitar and guitar accompanied by tabla.

Very nice indeed...:) thanks for the upload. Any more tunes of this group?

[ancientfuture]

@aksfilmsusa Yes! Ancient Future has released seven full length CDs and is working on the eighth project, the very ambitious Archive of Future Ancient Recordings, available at first only to subscribers. Even though only 10 percent of the project's budget has been raised so far, there is already more than 50 minutes of music in the archive, including this song. To to the Ancient Future band web site for more information.

Can anyone recommend another album besides Asian Fusion (for which I LOVE!).

Which would you consider their next best album? btw, I love the stuff we're listening to.

[ancientfuture]

@uninoculated Try "Planet Passion." And Capitol Records is releasing "World Without Walls" (1990 CD) for the first time on iTunes on June 7!

jugalbandi? Jug band?

[ancientfuture]

@SupernalOne Jugalbandi could be translated as "tied together." It refers to a duet performance in Indian music.

Sitar has so much range man, it's so enchanting. It plays notes that are fractions of octaves just from the design of the instrument. The physics of the instrument allow it to sing for itself from simply a pluck. It's so mesmerizingly beautiful.

[nishantvshah]

@shams302 BS, Its Hindustani music, call it Hindustani. Pakistani was not even born when this music was being developed in India's heartland,
