Fusion Talks :
Conversations with
Pratibha Singh Baghel
Handling a fusion album not only needs deep knowledge in various genres of music , but also extraordinary prowess in performance . With contrasting genres merging at a crossroad , the path is quite challenging and tough to take up . But the dynamic Hindustani vocalist Prathibha Baghel collaborated with composer and violinist Deepika Pandit and released a new fusion album “ Inheritance ”. The album supposedly focuses on ancient poetry and aesthetic lines for unique compositions . The album has various elements of music fused into one entity such as Hindustani classical , western classical and Sufi .
Score brings you a candid conversation with the artist who is already making waves in the world of Fusion music :
Can you tell us more about your newly released EP Inheritance in collaboration with violinist Deepik Pandit ?
Inheritance is a revival of four traditional classical thumris . I have been singing these classics for years , including in concerts . Then Deepak Pandit ji and I thought of recording it with Sufiscore ’ s help . It took two years for us to go through every possible rendition of these classics and then we both came up with the idea of keeping their authenticity intact , and merge it with western musical approach that Deepak ji is known for .
