Have you heard the DEMON
GOD ’ S FIDDLER ?
The world of Indian music never ceases to surprise you . It is perpetually interesting and no matter how much deep you dig , there ’ s always more to learn and experience . India had been a cauldron of various artistic endeavors and that is partially due to the political history of the country , but a lot is due to the fact that an inherent affinity to art and its appreciation had made sure that cultures don ’ t die off so soon . Even if they have been imported offshores , there have been attempts through various traditions to carry them forward through time immemorial . Musical instruments in India , like its culture , have found many roots across the regions and languages spoken in the area . The climate and the available natural resources have shaped the sound produced by these musical instruments . The ravanahatha is one such bowed fiddler from Northwestern India that is known for its unique aesthetics and musical ties .
