This album is the result of a collaboration that took place in Kolkata in 2004 between its key performers Australia guitarist Guy Strazz and Indian santoor player Sandip Chatterjee. Working in elements of folk music from Bengal, Hindustani art/classical music, and Afro-Brazilian music, and harnessing the musicianship of other colleagues, they have produced an album that they describe variously as ‘contemporary fusion’, ‘Intercultural World Fusion’ and ‘Intercultural World Music'. http://www.underscorerecords.com/catalog/audio/details.php?cat_id=06EM011ACD
