Bluefat, Album Review >>
Something of a blend between ancient-wisdom -soaked traditionalist and blithe-spirit artistic rule-breaker, Canadian singer-composer Vandana Vishwas lightly and very musically crosses and blurs the lines between Hindustani classical composition to jazz to peachy and poignant love songs. Along with lyrical collaborations with her husband, lyricist-multi-instrumentalist Vishwas Thoke, the crystalline-voiced Vishwas interprets ancient and modern India’s Urdu and Persian poetry in ear-pleasing but subtly complex arrangements that reflect the Western and world musics that, when placed alongside or on top of the classical forms of her native India, are reshaping her sense of self and suggest intriguing new musical hybrids for further exploration. On that note, it is incredibly interesting to hear Indian music harmonized; the traditional forms are melodically based and do not employ chords as such. Vishwas’ freethinking approach just sounds very, very different. 07/16/13 >> go there
