Debashish Bhattacharya & Friends
Beyond the Ragasphere
Riverboat Records

Guitar legends John McLaughlin and Jerry Douglas collaborate with Indian slide guitar maestro Debashish Bhattacharya accompanied by tabla giants Pandit’s Bickram Ghosh and Tanmoy Bose and including the vocals of Anandi Bhattacharya.

Really cool, hip world music. Middle Eastern or Indian sexy sway combined with out there jazz guitar. Get lost in the rhythms

**1. (6:33) Fast swirl of middle eastern feeling guitar drums, subtle female vox, gets a little swingy, guitar solo with flair, hand drum solo
2. (8:22) Male & female wailing, violin handclap and female vox delicate pattern, stretches out
3. (16:08) Siren and traffic sounds field recording intro, electric guitar and indian slide guitar playful soloing
*4. (4:24) Female vox intro, driving circular guitar, scat
5. (6:47) Droney intro, female wails, gets (folk) dancey with tabla
*6. (5:29) Indospaniola - fast but slow flamenco raga, drone box
7. (7:04) Mournful indian intro then sexy beat, funky
8. (7:04) Slow, mournful Ode to Love, a tad cheesy
