Share and enjoy the 'FIRST TIME'
experience of discovering a performing arts event in an
excerpt from the performance of an 'early morning raga', Raga
Lalit, by Hariprasad Chaurasia on Indian flute.
At this time there is no need to respond to the music in
any other way than to enjoy it as a 'first time
experience'. There need be no questions and no discussion!
'This is an
early morning raga. The awakening of a new day gives me a
feeling of awe and worship. If a blind man said that he
had not ever seen the dawn, I would play him this raga as
a musical experience of the first rays of the sun.'

India is the world's second most populous nation, with over a billion (1,000,000,000)
people. Thus it may be difficult to imagine that it also
has relatively unpopulated regions. Listen to this mix of
music and soundscape, created by Indian musicians, of a sandstorm in one of India's deserts.
