On this episode of Rhythm & Roots we take a magical ride from Brooklyn, NY to Southeast Asia and beyond with the Neel Murgai Ensemble. Born in New York City, with roots in the classical music of North Indian and the chamber (classical)music of North America, this ensemble shows how East and West can meet in perfect musical harmony. Their thought provoking compositions, mesmerizing strings, and delightful Indian percussion create improvised melodies that push the envelope and invite the audience on a mystical journey. The Neel Murgai Ensemble demystifies their instruments while mystifying us with their eclectic sounds of India meets Brooklyn!
