About Raga Music:
The Raga music performed in traditional sitar playing dates back thousands of years to the ancient times of India, when great sages developed timeless melodies through spiritual discipline and union with nature. “Nadha Brahma” which translates to “sound is God” is the creed of all artists in this tradition. A Raga is essentially a musical deity that takes shape in the form of sound. It has tremendous healing and transformative power. The depth of this music combined with the acoustic mastery of the sitars’ 20 strings creates a most potent sonic journey.
