Kushal Das - Essence Of Time

Review by Ryan Kaywork

Kushal Das' latest album, Essence Of Time, is a true masterpiece of Indian classical music. The album features a collection of traditional ragas, each one performed with incredible skill and passion by the renowned sitar player.

From the opening track, "Raga Jaijaiwanti," listeners are transported to a world of rich and complex melodies, with Das' sitar weaving intricate patterns of sound that are both soothing and invigorating. The album's title track, "Essence Of Time," is a particularly stunning piece, with Das' virtuosic playing evoking a sense of the timeless beauty of Indian classical music.

Throughout the album, Das is accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians, including tabla player Subhankar Banerjee and sarangi player Murad Ali Khan. Their contributions add depth and texture to the already rich tapestry of sound created by Das' sitar.
