Saagara's new album 3, is the third installment of this acclaimed collaboration between Polish producer/multi-instrumentalist Waclaw Zimpel and four virtuosic musicians from the Carnati musical tradition of southern India: percussionists Giridhar Udupa ( ghatam), Aggu Baba ( khanjira ) and K Raja ( thavil) and violinist Mysore N Karthik.
It's a buzzing juxtaposition of dense Indian rhythms and pulsating electronic patterns.
An album of deeply transformativecompositionsthat navigate tradition and experimentation as they move towards the universal.
Saagara's 3 is released via tak:til, Glitterbeat's instrumental music imprint, and home to artists such as Brighde Chaimbeul, Sirom, Jon Hassell and Park Jiha. Tak:til loosely navigates Hassell's idea of "Fourth World" musics, musics that blur the divide between (so-called) futurists and (so-called) traditionalists.
