Buddy Rich and Allah Rakha - Rangeela

For one short studio session back in the '60s, the king of jazz drummers Buddy Rich, and Alla Rakha, the master of the Indian tabla, came together in an early attempt at East-West fusion. The resulting album was hailed as a 'landmark' and a 'seminal recording' but nevertheless had sunk without trace by the 1980's.

After about the two minute mark, Rich and Rakha go back and forth. The results are quite interesting.

The name of the album is Rich a la Rakha.
