News was censored, and Nepali TV and radio were restricted to broadcasting little more than Hindu folk dancing and light sitar music. |
The sitar also has huge frets and loose strings that will bend four or five tones with a little pressure, aka whammy bar. |
He coaxes timbres out of them that sound similar to Indian instruments such as the sitar, sarod, sarangi and veena. |
Centering much of their music around tabla and sitar, these guys are obsessed with everything trippy. |
A prominent solo line, a guitar, a sitar or a flute, floats over a solid background of synths and percussion. |
As Piazzolla was the master of the bandoneon, Ravi Shankar is the master of the sitar. |
